Shrapnel wounds (generally during war time) comes in various forms: * Shrapnel is extremely sharp and it's caused by a bomb or grenade (booby traps). The thrust can sever a head or limbs. * Shrapnel can embed itself into a human body destroying organs, or, if the poor soldier is lucky enough it can be removed. * Shrapnel causes paralysis in the less fortunate (severs the spinal column.) * Shrapnel can also enter the gut area and cause severe damage laying the person's stomach wide open. * Shrapnel can enter the body at any angle and can be in extremely small pieces which is difficult for the surgeon to remove.

it really depends of each individual insurance. If the 19 year old is a full time student, she would be fully covered under your insurance. Also, some state laws require parents to cover a dependant child until a certain age (thru age 19 or sometimes even 23).

if the child is covered under the insurance, a pregnancy would be covered.. meaning all prenatal care, post natal for the mother and delivery, including hospital and physician fees. The baby however, will not be covered. The dependant of a dependant is not typically a eligible covered dependant on any insurance plan.

I've seen insurance plans that would cover a 19 year old child dependent, but, when you check the maternity benefit, she won't be covered unless there is a complication with the pregnancy.

If your insurance plan covers her as a dependant or student then she will be covered for her maternity. Most insurance policies will not cover a dependant grandchild, it depends on your individual plan. I have not seen any plans in my company that do. You may need to look into applying for Medicaid for the grandchild.

As stated above if the 19 year old is a qualified dependent then it should be covered **IF** the parents policy covers maternity. Maternity is not automatic coverage in all circumstances and is a benefit that is being made optional with much greater frequency in those states where the insurance company is not obligated to include it.

The nasopharyngeal airway is a piece of equipment used in healthcare for unconscious patients. The airway should be lubricated with a water based lubricant before insertion.

Any kind of surgical lubricant (like SurgiLube) will work. Don't have any on hand? Use the patient's saliva.

You should lubricate the outside of the tube with a water-soluble gel to decrease irritation to the nasal passage and to ease insertion.

They don't have to be lubricated it just makes insertion easier. Any kind of sterile lubricant will work. In an emergency you would use whatever you can - such as water or the patient's saliva.

The TAM is a simple method of performing a Risk Assessment. To begin, we have an asset. An information asset may be a piece of equipment, some data, or confidential information. A vulnerability contributes to the risk that the asset may be damaged, which exposes the company to loss and generates the necessity for a control or safeguard. Let's say that our data processing equipment is vulnerable to power outage. The power outage would pose some risk of that asset being damaged or unavailable, resulting in the exposure or inherent risk. Inherent risk is the highest possible risk we have if there are no controls in place.

Wartime conditions are attributed partly as the reasons for the spread of the Spanish Flu in 1918 during WW1, causing it to be a pandemic that killed millions world wide. Soldiers were moving from home front to battle field and then home again taking the influenza virus with them around the globe during the war. It is believed to have started in the US and then spread. The conditions of men in foxholes, closely packed in transport and in barracks helped the virus spread due to their close proximities. The physical and mental stress of war, poor nutrition, lack of sleep and bacterial infections from wounds can contribute to cause the immune systems of the troops to be overwhelmed and at less than peak functioning.

Honestly, I am unsure that any MRE's are good for a diabetic to eat. They are high in fats, sugars and salts. All of these diabetics need to look out for. Not only do you have to look out for those but also foods that break down into sugar in the long run. Anything with white flour breaks down into sugar, as does certain vegi's and fruits. The life of a diabetic is a complicated one. Best of luck!

16 minutes for a machine gunner entering a combat zone

I was a Naval Hospital Corpsman in 1979. I attended a "c" school-Field Medical Service School- were I was taught combat medicine. My instructors were all Vietnam Veterans. My class was informed, at that time, that a Corpsman's life expectancy in Vietnam was 19 minutes. This time estimate was for the corpsman just getting off the jet that delivered him to Vietnam.

While apparently what was being told to troopers, the above is ridiculous on its face. If everyone died (on average) 20 minutes after they got to Vietnam, then, statistically, to have 1 person survive a full year in Vietnam, over 52,000 would have to die inside of 10 minutes. Plainly, that didn't happen.

Over 2.5 million US soldiers served in the Vietnam War (many doing more than one tour), with about 60,000 dying. For a 10-year war, that means there was (on average) 6,000 deaths per year out of 250,000 people serving, or a 2.5% death rate, or 1 death every 41 minutes. Presuming that only 25% of all people serving in Vietnam saw front-line action, and that ALL deaths were at the front-lines, that means 6,000 deaths for 62,500 grunts, a 9.6% death rate. Which means that almost 91% of all combat vets survived.

Frankly, no one measures "X-second life expectancies"; it's a ridiculous metric, and impossible to measure in a meaningful way. To do so, one would have to measure this:

A = average life expectancy of civilian of the same age as the soldier

B = % of soldiers dying that year

C = average age of a soldier

Let's say that A = 75, B = 0.1 (10%), and C = 24. So, the amount of time that a Vietnam vet could expect to live after arriving in Vietnam would be roughly:

(A - C ) * ( 1 - B )

or

(75 - 24) * (1 - 0.1) = 45.9

So, the average life expectancy of a combat soldier in Vietnam would be to live almost 46 more years (to age 70). And, that's a gross underestimation (i.e. in reality, it would be considerably higher).
