steoscopes
recommended (and I´m not getting paid by them): LittmannŽ
the eartips should be soft and sealing like a hearing protection making it easier to use in a noisy environment.
the tubing should have a colour that makes it different to other stetoscopes and therefore easier to find if lost

Very graphic (and I mean it)
It doesn't show much first aid, but if someone wants to become an EMT, and/or prepare himself mentally for a situation where he will have to help someone in accident you will probably never find a better vid

"Nice" compilation of nasties. Wonder how it did get out on the internet.
It´s difficult to prepare oneself mentally to all or certain situations. Laws of the "House of God" (a novel by Samuel Shem) apply: Law number IV: THE PATIENT IS THE ONE WITH THE DISEASE.
Later on it is tunnel vision and you wouldn´t even notice your "troubled mind".

I recently found this wound dressing in the bottom of a pack. It says it expired in 08. Is this dressing safe to use, or should it be scrapped and used as a training aid? The packaging is in good condition and not opened. My understanding is that if it is expired it is not sterile, but still clean.
Short answer, It should be replaced if it's out of date.Originally Posted by steyr_88
An expiry date for a wound dressing (or any other products) is a guarantee by the manufacturer for a safe use until that specified date. If anything happens after that, you are liable. If it looks (smells, feels) ok it might get used for training purposes. If any doubts, bin it.
