#50: Learn how to read an EKG

Lots of reading, ok, I'm nowhere near being able to diagnose what part of the heart an MI has affected or anything, but i can identify the parts of the wave, what part is what part of the heart DOING what. I can identify STEMI, Bradys, Blocks, I know what the different leads look like.

I have to work on this more knowing what the "normal" ranges are for depressions, elevations, durations, abnormalities etc.

The Med Lieutenant and Tech on C shift are helping me....

#93

ok, i'm not going to cross this off my list just yet, but starting now no more sodas, diet or otherwise.

Can YOU help?

OK, so i'm taking a cue from some of the blogs i read on a daily basis with this new one.

Medic 61 has made a list of 101 things she will accomplish in 1001 days. That is wonderfully inspiring and putting the list out online will help me keep up with it.

So now what do I want to do?

On the right hand side of this page I will make a list, a list of 101 things I would like to accomplish before September 1, 2010. It might take me a couple days to get this list posted up but I think the way i'm going to work it is number everything and then as i finish them I'll bold them out or strikethrough the text with the date completed.
