As of last summer, the issued colloid is Voluvent. It's made with a synthetic starch in normal saline. Apparently it has a reduced harmful effect of coagulation and does not harm the kidneys as severely as previously issued large molecule colloids. I believe it is still a Surg Gen controlled...

Got any bites yet?

2 pr of boots for trade, give away, or best offer. You pay for shipping. Offer valid until 7 Jan 13, then they go to donation. Got 2 pr of these boots 6 yrs ago. My feet "flattened out" and now they do not fit. They are size 7.5 wide...

When you know what you are doing, and have done a few proper ones before, it can be that easy. :bowing:

In his Afghan centric trauma oriented bag, I do not know why he is carrying Sabutamol, Atrovent and Nitro. Perhaps he was told it was a good idea by the someone. It is, after all, just an advertisement for CTOMS. My best hypothesis is that it is for reactive airways as a result of dry heat and...

Congrats to him. I was impressed by his honesty and candor when he spoke to the ILP I attended.

Yeah, it's a bit old.

I await the complaints from people who only wieght 60 kgs about the standard wieght they will have to lift. Also, shall be interesting to see the massive increases in back pain chits.....

Edit to add:It is nice for everyone to realize that parachute insertion is one of those skills that the Army and Air Force let rust while we were all focused on the ATO. Nice to see the RCAF finally using the CC-117 as the airborne delivery platform the US Army has been for a couple decades...

Look, he has a Facebook page. ;D

Brihard, Acetaminophen is toxic to the liver. If your family medicine cabinet has any cold, flu or pain relief medication in it, look under the small print for the active ingredients. Bet dollars to donuts it has acetaminophen in it. The max daily dose of Acetaminophen is 4000 mg. Extra...

The events, according to your source of information, happened as they should. BTW a headache is not a condition. It is a symptom. Therefore nobody should have Acetaminophen provided to them for "just a headache". As far as shift work....this is why both medical and dental hold sick parade...

You should be. As a sub-trade of Med Tech 334, just as PMed, OR Tech and others are. :brit poppy:

To answer the opening post question: Med Techs are not required to maintain a provincial licence. Hence, the CF will not pay for a Med Tech to hold a provincial licence in the province they are posted to. Med Techs are allowed to get and maintain a provincial licence, but that expense shall be...

Ability to write with proper punctuation that enables your application to be regarded as preferable to others would be one of those minute details of military service that is transferable to the civilian world. And considering every run has a written report to document events, the ability to...
