    ClearBlueOctoberSky replied to Breanna13's topic in Cardiac

    Esme12, I am going to kindly disagree with some of your interpretation. First, in order to interpret a bundle branch block, you really need a 12 lead. The strip shown is not adequate. Second,...

    ClearBlueOctoberSky replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  18. Is it appropriate to use a classmate as a job reference?

    ClearBlueOctoberSky replied to loveoutloud's topic in General Students
