Guest guest Posted March 3, 2001 Report Share Posted March 3, 2001 Chinese dates are hard to find, but it is just a kind of date. I never had to bother with them as my platelets were OK.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2001 Report Share Posted March 3, 2001 I'm afraid I don't. No doubt there is some substance or phytochemical in Chinese dates that exert some kind of positive effect in this regard, but what it might be I don't know. Nor for that matter have I personally seen any studies that prove this out, but it is taken for truth by a large portion of the Hep C community on an alternative medicine list I was on last year.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2001 Report Share Posted October 24, 2001 Hi having worked in Kazakhstan on land for 2 years (plus and minus 40c in summer and winter) some info from the British Antartic survey might be of use see if you can find them. Basically prevention better than cure. Ensure well clothed, many layers etc avoid damp clothing and prolonged periods outside. Keep well hydrated and avoid alcohol at all costs, it is dehydrating and physiologically depressing plus inhibits systemic responses and psychological recognition of cold etc. Keep skin covered in extreme temps as frost nip and burn easy to get and slow to show. If you have to whip it out for a pee make sure you shake well and are very quick!!! A real potential problem guys. Never dealt with hypothermia on my patch as the guys were well informed and I am great nag!!! Also had experience of open water swimming where hypothermia a real risk. No clothes and in wet and cold water.( I am mad by the way)Early recognition, good support and back-up the key.Warm gently inside first, warm air, warm fluids etc then out. That's it really. Regards Kim Dellanzo-McHardy RGN Offshore medic (8 years North sea Kazakhstan and Yemen) and I am an ex NHS girlie too! Various Well I have just signed on to this group. I am currently working near Ian in Kazakhstan offshore in North Caspian Sea. As I am an Australian living in Darwin (tropics) and working offshore for eight years in Thailand, I am some what new to this icy environment. If any one has some useful info on Hypothermia, Frost bite and or any info on cold related matters, the info would be most welcome.

Plus they bring dead or dying people there, you know, trauma from car accidents and falling off cliffs, etc. Just because you are closer than an ER. Eeeyuew! There's more stuff, medical type stuff, that concerns me, plus the pay is rock bottom, like below doctor minimum wage. There should be no problem getting loan repayment, but that wage is ridiculous and I looked at the formula for earning the incentive pay and it just would be too hard for me to get the incentive, I believe.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2003 Report Share Posted September 7, 2003 Hi Marta... I thought about calling you today, but couldn't find your number. Will look one more place. Are there any jobs at DRMC? Don't despair- God does have a plan. A huge pine tree 30 " diameter, about 75 feet tall fell down in my yard last night! also into the neighbors yard. About 25 feet from my bedroom- I guess my Ambien was working. hate to have to pay someone to cut the thing up and haul it off- but I don't do chain saws. I've joined a group at the health club to get my body moving again and off sugar. First appt with the trainer tomorrow- Betsy Re: various > What did they say over here...I also heard that Todd's wife > is here on Mon at the office, I ask if they were back together, > but didn't know for sure...I think I am going to her for > my pap smear....I guess it is just me as I think he is too cute > to give me a pap smear...lol Guess Im not as old as I thought.LOL > Pat I was supposed to call back, but never did.
