Re: OT:

Ed, were those the machines that had to be hooked up to a telephone for
interpretation? I HATED those danged suction cups!!!!!

Then again, the patients used to hate me for ordering the stickiest
disposable electrodes I could find so they wouldn't fall off. One guy asked
me to leave them on, and he'd just go home and soak them off. <G>

Donna had a good suggestion, if I can find out which agency paid for her
course. That might be difficult. IMO, she would not have made a good
tech anyway...

Congrats on taking the EKG course.

When I learned how to do EKG's many moons ago, we used these little
suction cups instead of the disposable electrodes they have today. By the
time you got those 10 suction cups on, the first one had fallen off. They
were also not very hygienic as you used this white electrode paste that
would get sucked up into the suction cup. We would go from patient to
patient and they only got cleaned once in a while.

The EKG machines back then would only print one EKG lead at a time, so you
would have to cut them and paste them onto a sticky *** to complete the
recording.

Hope you don't stand there scratching your head as long as I did when I
ran across my first patient with dextrocardia:).
