Broke 0 #3 May 26, 2006 Updating SOPs mean I am in a location where I cannot drink. I think part of my problem is that I am tired secondary to training earlier today. Allthough some good news.

Broke 0 #5 May 26, 2006 Standard Operaiting Procedure So how does this sound EMS Personnel: EMS Personnel are to assure that in the event of a refusal there is no life threat present to the patient at the time of the refusal of medical aid. EMS Personnel have a responsibility to observe New York State Medical and Legal guidelines.Divot your source for all things Hillbilly.

karenmeal 0 #6 May 26, 2006 Sounds confusing. Not sure if this would work for you, but here is something that sounds like it may flow more smoothly. In the event of a patient refusal of medical aid, EMS personnel are to assure that there is no present threat to the patient's life. How does this sound? I can't get it to flow right. As is reflected in the tuning curves of auditory nerve fibers, a stimulus with a high enough intensity can cause auditory nerve fibers to fire action potentials even when that stimulus is not close in frequency to their characteristic frequency. This spreading of excitation that can occur at a high enough intensity is what causes an improved degree of intensity discrimination at higher levels.

This spreading of excitation that can occur at a high enough intensity is what causes an improved degree of intensity discrimination at higher levels. How's this? "Tuning curves of auditory nerve fibers show that stimuli of sufficiently high intensity can trigger action potentials, even if the particular stimulus is not at or near the fiber's characteristic frequency. At higher levels, the propogation of these action potentials improves intensity discrimination." Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

karenmeal 0 #12 May 26, 2006 Hey, thanks! I've got it: (Now 15 more pages to go.) The tuning curves of auditory nerve fibers show that stimuli of sufficiently high intensity can trigger action potentials, even if the particular stimulus is not at or near the nerve fiber's characteristic frequency. At higher levels this spread of neural excitation along the basilar membrane is responsible for improved intensity discrimination. Thanks Dave! Should I cite you?
