Paramedics found her to be GCS 3 and shortly afterwards required CPR and 1mg adrenaline for profound bradycardia and no pulse. Spontaneous output returned and no further drugs have been required to support her circulation. She remains intubated and GCS 3. There is little other history, except some information from a friend stating she had been on a trip to South America recently.

Now, thanks to the power of marketing gurus who have little regard for medical nomenclature, there's a new "PE" in town involving the same organ as the heavily marketed malady, "ED."Sheesh.Talk about the yin and yang of urology... -WesMusings of a cardiologist and cardiac electrophysiologist.

That’s awful.A woman died in labour in a hospital lavatory after her induction was delayed because of a lack of specialist staff, an inquest was told yesterday.We now all have a mental image of this desperate woman with a twin pregnancy, in established labour, trapped behind a lavatory door, crying out for help but dying before anything can be done. A tragedy. A tragedy that would have been avoided if only the NHS were properly staffed.They are loving this in the USA.
