I need anatomy, drugs, anything...

Thanks!
Try EMS Solutions http://ems-safety.com/emsfiles.htm it has a free download for medical mnemonics. Hope it helps.
Do you have the standards like SAMPLE, PQRST, AVPU DERM, BELLSRP ?
A basic one we use over here in NZ is a simple one..

DR - ABC

Danger
Response
Airway
Breathing
Circulation and Control life threatening bleeding

It aims to cover the primary survey.
Hope this helps.

Also, Jake Fireman brings up a few good mnemonics.
SAMPLE, PQRST and AVPU are also used in NZ.
There's a good book called EMS 4 EMS, it's nothing but EMS related pneumonics.
try CSMTP when assessing extremities...C (color)S(sensation)M(MobilityT(Temperature)P(Pulse)...hey Funix wrks fur me..!!! LOL
Jake,

I am curious to know what the BELLSRP and DERM mnemonics are.
We do not use them over here and I am just wondering what they stand for.
Thanks you all for your comments! Ralph, you didn't ruin anything I thought it was great :-) ...
I have now been an Intermediate for almost a year but always find these helpful. You can never learn too much. Keep it going!
Ariel
