For what it's worth, I can send my PowerPoints (one on peds emergencies,
the other more specific to trauma) to anyone who's interested when
they're updated.  
Depending on interest, it might become easier just to mail them to the
List and let everyone have at them.  Nothing copyrighted here.  I'm all
about sharing.

I would love to see the presentations, Pret!!

I have a cool case, but no real tips.

A 3 year old rolled down the hill to the 2 ft full drainage ditch from
his
home. Within minutes, his mom noticed, retrieved him and a friend began
CPR
despite a pulseless, unresposvie child. Again within 3-5 minutes, the
Paramedics arrived and brought him straight to our tiny ED, where we
continued resusitation and sent him to our Level 1 trauma center ~1 hour
away.

According to the pediatrician, at followup a few weeks later, the child
walked in, was a bit "slow" but inquired where the Dr's bubbles were--
as
this doc always blew bubbles as he walked into an exam room.

He was otherwise lost to followup, but this case offset a lot of sad
ones
for me/us.

You do know you can send free large files at www.yousendit.com
-- right? LOVE those folks. THAT is a pointer in itself.
