By the way - forgive my ignorance, but what is "They Might Be
Giants"????

>>> UrsicC at SESAHS.NSW.GOV.AU 08/03/04 08:00AM >>>

To be frank, I am just a bit shocked that any of my colleagues and
peers would consider an illegal action justifiable, under any
circumstance. 
Ron Gross

Oh, C'mon, Ron, really now. Illegality is such a broad, nebulous term
with so many
variables that I find it shocking that you'd get so 'shocked' at the
mere mention
that breaking a law is somehow beyond the scope of a doctor "under any
circumstance."  Haven't you ever
coasted through a stop sign?  Wouldn't you exceed the speed limit on
the freeway if it was safe to do so in order to respond to a call about
a patient shot and exsanguinating in your ED?  Didn't you ever tape a
They Might Be Giants album for
your girlfriend back in med school?  There are crimes and then there
are 'crimes.' 

I am in no way advocating that anyone make a profit or in any way
dilute the content or value or message of ATLS by conducting an
ATLS-like course, much less falsely advertise themselves as a legitimate
ATSL course when they were not.
