Al's Wedding-related jokes and one-liners:"This marriage jokes list started as just a collection of amusing (to me, at least) odds and ends which would catch my eye from time to time. This collection was born when I decided to focus on marriage/relationship/battle-of-the-sexes items. (You should see the items I left out!) With some creativity, many of the items on these pages could be worked into a wedding reception speech. Using some of them in speeches will require more creativity (or courage) than others. Sensitive souls may find some of the material rather raw."

McDonald's Medicine: Too Impatient to Wait for Care, Time

Doctor asks, "Why did you come to the ER today?"

This question — emphasizing today is common practice in emergency departments — helps us figure out how urgent a patient's illness might be. But it's a loaded question. Rephrased, it could easily mean, "Do you really believe you are seriously ill, or is it just that you couldn't wait to see a regular doctor?"

Behind the sanctimony is a cliché: McDonald's medicine. Spend time in a busy ER and you'll hear a recurrent theme among the harried staff: patients in the U.S. want their health care like they want their food — served up speedily and made "your way." According to the conventional wisdom among medical professionals, overcrowding in the ER is exacerbated by America's culture of instant gratification. (See Healthland's 5 rules for good health in 2011.)

With the high value we put on Instant Gratification, have to say they have a point here.

First aid rules that everyone needs to know-KevinMD.com

First aid is defined as the immediate care given to an acutely injured or ill person.  It can literally be life-saving so it behooves all of us to know some basic principles.

What follows are some rules that cover common conditions and general practices:

  1. Don’t panic.  Panic clouds thinking and causes mistakes.  When I was an intern and learning what to do when confronted with an unresponsive patient, a wise resident advised me when entering a “code blue” situation to always “take my own pulse first.”  In other words, I needed to calm myself before attempting to intervene.  It’s far easier to do this when you know what you’re doing, but even if you encounter a situation for which you’re unprepared, there’s usually some good you can do.  Focus on that rather than on allowing yourself an unhelpful emotional response.  You can let yourself feel whatever you need to feel later when you’re no longer needed.
  2. First, do no harm.  This doesn’t mean do nothing.  It means make sure that if you’re going to do something you’re confident it won’t make matters worse.  If you’re not sure about the risk of harm of a particular intervention, don’t do it.  So don’t move a trauma victim, especially an unconscious one, unless not moving them puts them at great risk (and by the way, cars rarely explode).  Don’t remove an embedded object (like a knife or nail) as you may precipitate more harm (e.g., increased bleeding).  And if there’s nothing you can think to do yourself, you can always call for help.  In fact, if you’re alone and your only means to do that is to leave the victim, then leave the victim.
  3. CPR can be life-sustaining.  But most people do it wrong.  First, studies suggest no survival advantage when bystanders deliver breaths to victims compared to when they only do chest compressions.  Second, most people don’t compress deeply enough or perform compressions quickly enough.  You really need to indent the chest and should aim for 100 compressions per minute.  That’s more than 1 compression per second.  If you’re doing it right, CPR should wear you out.  Also, know that CPR doesn’t reverse ventricular fibrillation, the most common cause of unconsciousness in a patient suffering from a heart attack.  Either electricity (meaning defibrillation) or medication is required for that.  But CPR is a bridge that keeps vital organs oxygenated until paramedics arrive.  Which is why…
