E-Mail Addendum!

Oops!

In regards to the ALS Continuing Education Class for this week,

there are in fact, TWO SESSIONS!

Tuesday, July 19th, 0900 hours, Accomack Co. DPS Office-Tasley
Tuesday, July 19th, 1300 hours, Oak Hall Rescue

Providers who wish to attend the session at the DPS Office in Accomac are 
asked to call me at the station or e-mail me as seating is limited at that 
facility.

> 
> To date, the following ideas are being explored
> 
> 1. A trauma case study program presented by a PRMC trauma team member
> 2. A "street drug" program presented by local law enforcement
> 3. A session covering various catheters, tubes, and drains found in the home
> 
>    care setting.
> 4. YOUR IDEA HERE!

> Please do not hesitate to call or e-mail with your thoughts!
