tidbits, odds and ends I run across 


There is a company in Escondido, California (near San Diego) that specializes in refurbished defibrillators. I'm sure by now they also have AEDs. You can find them on the web at:

Here is an interesting article on pulse oximetry.

Have you been sitting in the back of my classes ???????
Recently we have been blessed with a new co-ordinator.  Classes go like this:
Late starts
No extension cord
No forms
No extra bulbs
No co-ordination  (oops, I didn't say that)
Chicken legs not purchased
No test
Old test
No answer sheets
No answers

The students look at me ..........  "hey, it ain't my class.  I'm just the hired help"
This morning I showed up with everything that has been missing for the last few classes.
Everything was going smooth until the Fire Department decided to test the fire alarms and  hold a fire drill.
Some days it ain't worth getting out of bed !
Keep up the great work,
Bob


Very cool EMS stuff for your Palm


Russian doctors in Nizhni Novgorod, accustomed to being paid in goods such as meat or butter, are reportedly offended at their hospital's latest offer to pay them entirely in manure. Six tons per year.  


QUOTE 
Humor is merely tragedy standing on its head with its pants torn. - Irvin S. Cobb


Volunteers... Do You Just Belong?



Are you an active member,
The kind that would be missed?

Or are you just contented,
That your name is on the list?

Do you attend the meetings,
And mingle with the flock?

Or do you meet in private,
And criticize and knock?



Do you take an active part,
To help the work along?

Or are you just satisfied,
To be the kind that just belongs?

Do you work on committees,
To this there is no trick.

Or leave the work to just a few,
And talk about the clique?



So come to meetings often,
And help with hand and heart.

Don't be just a member,
But take an active part.

Think this over colleagues,
You know what's right from wrong,

Are you a valued member,
Or do you just belong?
