Paul,

I've been volunteering in an emergency room for almost a year now. I can discuss several similarities at length if you wish, but I think you'd benefit more from these other accounts.

These articles can provide some supporting data and background information.

I would give this clinic a call or an email to get more information from a direct source.

Hi Brett. Yes, that would be very useful to me. I'd appreciate it and will likely have the articles cited in what I hope will be a book.

My email address is [email protected], if that makes the transfer any easier.
