Tim,
        This is the second reply to my question I have recieved, and I see a 
pattern already! Part of my confusion resulted from an incomplete assessment. 
Realizing the patient may be showing signs of difficulty breathing was good, 
but I never investigated why. As I said in my reply to the last message, I'm 
gonna sit in the corner and contemplate the folly of incomplete 
ssessments...
        Thanks for replying. I like being corrected much better than being 
ignored. I won't post an opinion of the ER staff or EMT-P's that gave me the 
blank looks. I'm in no position to at all to do that. But I can appreciate 
your sentiments!
                                        Mike
