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.
