Practical High Altitude Medicine — Longer test (uncorrected draft)
Season 13 testing candidate. Longer selected; actual runtime 64:31. Practical companion covering pre-travel assessment, ascent planning, acclimatization, prevention, AMS/HACE/HAPE recognition, treatment roles, descent and handoff through two hypothetical cases.
Corrections and review points before teaching use:
• 37:12–37:58: absence of headache is used to exclude AMS. WMS 2024 emphasizes headache while retaining diagnostic uncertainty, research-score limitations and clinical function.
• 58:50–60:29: AMS reascent is said to require stopping all altitude medications, and HAPE is grouped with HACE under an absolute trip-over rule. WMS 2024 supports acetazolamide prophylaxis on AMS reascent and gives conditions for considering HAPE reascent; HACE guidance is separ...
Natural Disaster Management — Longer test (uncorrected draft)
Season 13 testing candidate. Longer selected; actual runtime 55:12. Two hypothetical flood/earthquake cases connect deployment, local coordination, public health, acute and chronic care, ethics, vulnerable people, digital information, recovery and responder support.
Corrections and review points before teaching use:
• 04:59–05:49, 15:34–17:15 and 52:02–52:49 turn definitions/coordination principles into universal legal or UN-cluster rules. WHO's 72-hour readiness expectation runs from the disaster and differs from type-specific field-site setup times. Local acceptance and the actual coordination arrangements govern deployment.
• 22:45–23:31: the living-host-only pathogen explanation is incorrect; the source's broad epidemic-risk distinction does not erase handling/water-contamination precautions.
• 24:19–25:20: the claimed demonstr...
Pack-Animal Expedition Planning — Longer test (uncorrected draft)
Season 13 testing candidate. Longer selected; actual runtime 69:19. Large-animal companion to the canine test. Covers species differences, preparation, water/feed/load planning, assessment, musculoskeletal and abdominal emergencies, welfare and transport.
Major scope and correction points before teaching use:
• 32:52–37:47 and 40:27–45:17 include detailed restraint, IV-access, joint-injection and bandaging instructions. Their confirmation/safety claims need veterinary review; this was intended as a planning and decision-level discussion.
• 54:10–58:59 gives nasogastric and tracheostomy procedural directions despite the requested boundary.
• 60:41–65:47 includes specific firearm-based euthanasia instructions and categorical legal/drug/disposal claims. Those methods were outside the requested podcast scope and require re...
Wilderness Dog Emergencies — Longer test (uncorrected draft)
Season 13 testing candidate. Longer selected; actual runtime 65:30. Canine-only companion to the pack-animal test. Covers assessment, preparation, trauma, heat/laryngeal problems, bloat, resuscitation, toxins, envenomation and working-dog issues.
Corrections and review points before teaching use:
• 14:33–15:21 implies cutting porcupine quills, contradicting both the source and the later correction at 55:23–56:14.
• 19:27–23:20 and 27:12–31:30 provide detailed restraint/bandaging recipes. Universal muzzling and neck-restraint/spinal-stabilization claims need veterinary and experienced-handler review.
• 25:34–26:24, 36:23–37:15 and 38:49–39:39 overstate infection, cooling and circulation mechanisms; the GDV shock label needs correction.
• 39:39–41:21 and 42:07–45:29 include invasive anatomical/needle and resuscitation directions despite the intended decision-level scope. CPR futility is ove...
Accidental Hypothermia — Longer test (uncorrected draft)
Season 13 testing candidate. Longer selected; actual runtime 65:05. Covers recognition, temperature/staging limits, protection and rewarming, resuscitation and destination planning through two hypothetical cases. This output remains lengthy and repetitive.
Corrections needed before teaching use:
• 48:35–50:44, 60:49–61:41 and 63:18–64:04: repeated CPR pauses are incorrectly extended to 10 minutes, including an 8-minute example. WMS 2019 separates an ideal initial delay of no more than 10 minutes from repeated interruptions of no more than 5 minutes between minimum 5-minute compression periods.
• 21:11–21:56: the 2021 revised Swiss system is called validated; the paper explicitly states the proposed revision had not yet been validated.
• 12:14–15:30: temperature-measurement claims omit the...
Whitewater Medicine and Rescue — Longer test (uncorrected draft)
Season 13 testing candidate. Longer selected; actual runtime 36:45. Full original five-source Whitewater context retained, with the complete WMS 2024 drowning guideline added. Covers preparation, conditions, human factors, hazards, thermal/equipment limits, rescue capabilities, drowning/trauma assessment and evacuation through two hypothetical cases.
Corrections needed before teaching use:
• 07:47–08:35: stage, discharge and river power are conflated; the fixed gorge-versus-wide-river comparison is unsupported.
• 13:00–14:28: body-support buoyancy is confused with PFD flotation. McGinnis distinguishes 7–12 lb of average-adult support from the stated 15.5 lb minimum for Type III/whitewater Type V PFDs.
• 23:37–24:22 and 26:00–26:46: dam hydraulics are described with universal no-exit claims; water we...
Wilderness Dentistry — Longer test (uncorrected draft)
Season 13 testing candidate. Longer selected; actual runtime 53:30. Covers readiness, examination, dental/facial trauma, avulsion, pain and differential diagnosis, infection, oral lesions, interim care and evacuation.
Corrections needed before teaching use:
• 40:38–43:03: the antibiotic discussion incorrectly generalizes withholding antibiotics for localized abscess when definitive dental treatment is unavailable. The ADA's separate 2019 chairside guide includes a conditional recommendation for pulp necrosis with localized acute apical abscess and urgent referral. Severely immunocompromised patients are outside that guide's population. Review the complete conditions here: https://www.ada.org/-/media/project/ada-organization/ada/ada-org/files/resources/research/ada_chairside_guide_anti...
Whitewater — 43-minute comparison test (uncorrected draft)
Season 13 comparison test — existing 43:17 Longer recording. Added at Chris's request alongside the 18:15 output (S13 E17). No new recording was generated for this comparison.
UNCORRECTED TESTING DRAFT — known clinical and rescue-content problems remain.
Broad river hazards, preparation, equipment, human factors, swimming/rescue context, clinical assessment and evacuation.
Review flags: 12:10–13:42: conflates water conductivity with a fixed whole-body cooling rate and presents dry suits as stopping cold-shock/gasp responses. 14:38–15:08: buoyancy figures require correction against their distinct source meanings. 21:24–23:08: named Grand River 2024 incident is unverified in selected primary sources; low-head-dam geometry and near-zero buoyancy claims are overgeneralized. 24:13–24:30: false contra...
Leave No Trace — Extended test
Season 13 testing version B. Longer selected; actual output 41:07. Compare with the already-published 20:43 Default / Short test (S13 E9).
TESTING DRAFT FOR FACULTY REVIEW — uncorrected review flags remain.
All seven principles, sensitive environments, group teaching and waste systems, biosecurity, travel/energy tradeoffs, hospitals, land management and a hypothetical teaching-trip review.
Review notes: 07:37–09:11 makes waste depths and setbacks universal; 10:26 adds generic bleach decontamination and 16:32 gives a fixed marine-wildlife distance. 13:47–14:48 includes a homemade waste-container/disposal recipe. Later local-rule caveats are useful but do not validate these as instructions for every site. 17:16–19:21 simplifies permafrost/ecological mechanisms and recovery times. 2...
Thermoregulation — Extended test
Season 13 testing version B. Longer selected; actual output 51:31. Compare with the already-published 21:25 Default / Short test (S13 E11).
TESTING DRAFT FOR FACULTY REVIEW — uncorrected review flags remain.
Core/shell concepts, measurement limitations, heat balance, sensing and integrated control, vascular/metabolic/evaporative/behavioral effectors, modifiers and heat/cold examples. Molecular explanation and the closing hypothermia speculation remain excessive.
Review notes: 15:51–17:21 turns conductivity into a fixed 25-times cooling claim; 43:02 turns heat capacity into a 3500-times heat-drain rate. 19:40–20:22 overstates airway rewarming. 26:26–26:52 says peripheral flow is zero and there is literally no blood in the hands. 40:44–41:19 treats 95% humidity as complet...
Lightning Prevention and Care — Extended test
Season 13 testing version B. Longer selected; actual output 42:17. Compare with the already-published 23:13 Default / Short test (S13 E15).
TESTING DRAFT FOR FACULTY REVIEW — uncorrected review flags remain.
Fuller discussion of dated epidemiology, prevention, shelters and terrain, triage/resuscitation, cardiac/neurologic/skin/sensory injuries, pregnancy, delayed effects and evacuation.
Review notes: 00:00–01:18 and 41:14–42:17 retain dramatic hospital contrasts and a closing hook. 06:40–10:32 adds deterministic electrical-path mechanisms. 11:00–16:09 turns dated precautions into mandates and retains exact spacing, gear/unroping and posture instructions. 20:28–20:50 says other injured patients can wait; 40:27–40:44 foregrounds ventilation for pulseless patients despite the fuller BLS/ALS explanation at 20:52. 23:1...
Whitewater — Extended test (short output)
Season 13 testing version B. Longer selected; actual output 18:15. This is not a Default recording. The generator did not meet the requested 45–60-minute depth.
TESTING DRAFT FOR FACULTY REVIEW — uncorrected review flags remain.
River planning, reported-incident limits, equipment, cold water, human factors, hydrology, incident assessment and a hypothetical exit.
Review notes: The output is only 18:15 despite Longer being selected and a 45–60-minute prompt; it touches the outline but lacks the requested depth. 01:07, 06:17, 11:50, 13:52 and 15:30 repeat production instructions. 06:57–07:47 overstates dry-suit and cold-shock mechanisms. 12:24–12:49 generalizes low-head dams as perfectly uniform with no weak point. 14:30–14:39 turns omission of procedural r...
Jungle Expedition Medicine — Extended test
Season 13 testing version B. Longer selected; actual output 53:55. Compare with the already-published 21:21 Default / Short test (S13 E13).
TESTING DRAFT FOR FACULTY REVIEW — uncorrected review flags remain.
Broader coverage of environment, preparation, equipment, health hazards, cultural context, isolation, rescue and a hypothetical exit scenario.
Review notes: 07:07–12:36 generalizes body build and couples, adds physiological explanations and behavioral guarantees. 12:51 calls a packing/training boundary a WMS malpractice rule. 16:38–18:29 overstates medication efficacy and customs simplicity. Technical recipes remain at 26:58, 38:18 and 42:20. 44:25–45:48 and 50:07–50:42 convert a dated fixed-wing pole test into helicopter landing/hoist decisions. 47:10–49:29 describes ataxia and anhidrosis, then centers flui...
Lightning Prevention and Care — Short test
Season 13 testing version A. Default length selected; 23:13. This already-generated version is included for comparison with the Longer counterpart.
TESTING DRAFT FOR FACULTY REVIEW — review flags remain.
Planning, shelter limits, a hypothetical multiple-casualty incident, reassessment and feasible evacuation.
Review notes: 07:01–08:35 overinterprets prevention measures and uses only-reliable wording. 10:35 retains a misleading ordinary-ED/expectant-care comparison. 13:10 and 21:44 use ALS-only framing that requires correction against the actual resuscitation guideline and available capabilities. Review mechanism, historical-rate and transient-neurologic explanations before teaching use. This dated source discussion is not current institutional policy.
Source: Complete WMS Practice Guidelines for Prev...
Jungle Expedition Medicine — Short test
Season 13 testing version A. Default length selected; 21:21. This already-generated version is included for comparison with the Longer counterpart.
TESTING DRAFT FOR FACULTY REVIEW — review flags remain.
Preparation, heat/wetness, feet, vectors, water systems, communications and a feasible exit plan.
Review notes: 03:04–04:28 generalizes body build and heat tolerance. 06:22–06:43 makes loss of acclimatization after one week an absolute claim. 12:36–12:55 contrasts physical and chemical prevention while including chemically treated clothing, and overstates a hierarchy. 15:10 and 17:55–19:21 turn editorial boundaries into broad operational judgments. These require review against current destination-specific professional advice. Dramatic framing and repeated scope explanations remain.
Eye Emergencies — Extended test
Season 13 testing version B. Longer selected; 38:42. Compare with the already-generated Default/Short test of this topic.
TESTING DRAFT FOR FACULTY REVIEW — known clinical and editorial review flags remain.
Broader preparation, assessment, altitude/diving, vision loss, painful red eye, infection, trauma, chemical/environmental injury and evacuation discussion.
Review notes: 06:34–07:03 and 16:31–17:49 overstate the diagnostic certainty of anesthetic response. 09:18–09:34 makes vision change after RK near-inevitable. 13:40–13:57 and 15:05–15:23 overstate pupil/symptom findings. 22:46–23:32 introduces medication dosing and categorical positioning. 28:51–28:59 incorrectly treats a round pupil/full eye movement as exclusion of serious injury. 29:16–29:45 overstates positioning consequences and raises unsafe transport implications. 32:5...
Orthopedic Cases — Extended test
Season 13 testing version B. Longer selected; 55:16. Compare with the already-generated Default/Short test of this topic.
TESTING DRAFT FOR FACULTY REVIEW — known clinical and editorial review flags remain.
Broader upper- and lower-extremity patterns, soft tissue/overuse, injections at a conceptual level, return after joint replacement, bracing, prolonged-care cases and evacuation.
Review notes: 03:13–03:51: hemorrhage/spine language is too algorithmic and historical. 12:00, 19:10 and 32:17–32:56 overstate outcomes. 23:13–25:05 overstates injury-mechanism certainty and clearance rules. 39:55–40:22: the proposed implant-cold/synovial-fluid/perfusion mechanism is not established by the selected chapter. 44:49 assumes paralysis without establishing it. 49:03 demands immediate nighttime extraction before later acknowledg...
Thermoregulation — Short test
Season 13 testing version A. Default length selected; 21:25. This already-generated version is included for comparison with the Longer counterpart.
TESTING DRAFT FOR FACULTY REVIEW — review flags remain.
Core/shell physiology, measurement limitations, heat exchange, effectors and hypothetical wet-cold/hot-humid examples.
Review notes: Physiology companion for faculty review rather than a heat/hypothermia treatment algorithm. Review the simplified mechanisms and experimental-context interpretations, particularly 17:05–19:16. Some production-style disclaimers and extended analogies remain for editorial comparison.

Orthopedic Injuries — Extended test
Season 13 testing version B. Longer selected; 37:10. Compare with the already-generated Default/Short test of this topic.
TESTING DRAFT FOR FACULTY REVIEW — known clinical and editorial review flags remain.
Broader assessment, vascular/nerve/skeletal/joint function, spine and pelvis, stabilization, open fracture/compartment concerns, soft tissue, cases and handoff.
Review notes: 00:37 and 05:29–05:49 impose an overly rigid spine-first assessment order. 07:35 calls a baseline examination meaningless. 09:38–11:17 overstates field tests and motion-based conclusions. 15:14–16:08 describes historical spine-clearance maneuvers. 18:40–21:54 expands into device/angle instructions. 24:27–25:41 presents an old treatment clock and antibiotic discussion. 31:03–31:19 conflates shock concepts and imposes transport instructions. Later qualific...
Leave No Trace — Short test
Season 13 testing version A. Default length selected; 20:43. This already-generated version is included for comparison with the Longer counterpart.
TESTING DRAFT FOR FACULTY REVIEW — review flags remain.
The seven principles applied to a hypothetical medical teaching expedition.
Review notes: 03:55–04:05 and 07:49–07:59 overstate ecological effects as mathematical/inevitable mechanisms. 10:58–15:46 gives specific waste, setback and fire examples that must be checked against current destination and land-manager requirements. The shorter version omits most of the chapter's broader sustainability and energy discussion. Repeated clinical analogies and production framing remain.

Eye Emergencies — Short test
Season 13 testing version A. Default length selected; 21:41. This already-generated version is included for comparison with the Longer counterpart.
TESTING DRAFT FOR FACULTY REVIEW — review flags remain.
Focused cases covering sudden visual loss, painful red eye, globe-injury concerns and chemical exposure.
Review notes: 08:10–08:30: available care for sudden visual loss is framed too absolutely; the selected guideline includes consideration of oxygen/hyperbaric options when available for suspected CRAO. 10:07 and 12:48: diagnostic localization and vague medication selection need review against the guideline. 21:11: corneal oxygen discussion says entirely where the source says most. Some dramatic/clinical-persona framing remains.
Orthopedic Cases — Short test (uncorrected draft)
Season 13 testing version A. Default length selected; 19:11. This already-generated version is included for comparison with the Longer counterpart.
TESTING DRAFT FOR FACULTY REVIEW — review flags remain.
Three orthopedic cases through prolonged evacuation delay. This is the existing first Default generation, retained specifically for comparison.
Review notes: Known errors require correction before teaching use: 03:45–03:58 inserts traction/alignment into a clavicle case; 04:26–04:42 invents a protective-fuse mechanism; 08:08 overstates associated-injury certainty; 09:13–10:15 uses a pelvic-vacuum explanation and procedural/transport mandates; 10:15–12:14 overstates rigid transport and conflates spinal/neurogenic shock; 14:39–17:58 turns historical timing discussion into rigid universal fasciotomy rules. Do not use this...
Orthopedic Injuries — Short test
Season 13 testing version A. Default length selected; 21:37. This already-generated version is included for comparison with the Longer counterpart.
TESTING DRAFT FOR FACULTY REVIEW — review flags remain.
Assessment, stabilization, serial findings, delayed evacuation and handoff.
Review notes: 07:23–10:10: spinal-motion and pelvic-binder mechanism explanations need faculty/source review. 11:26–12:12: traction/alignment risk-benefit is generalized and delayed injury is described too deterministically. 14:21–14:30: infection/limb-loss language is overstated. Clinical persona and dramatic metaphors remain.

Teaching in the Field — Extended test
Season 13 testing version B: Longer selected; 46:43. Compare with Teaching in the Field — Short test (17:49). This version adds adult-learning theory, teaching methods, assessment and feedback, simulation safety, educator development, curriculum design and the chapter's 2017 training landscape.
TESTING DRAFT FOR FACULTY REVIEW. Known review flags remain in this AI-generated discussion:
• 08:19–08:39: internal motivation is overstated as universal.
• 17:04–17:28, 22:32–22:37 and 30:24–31:07: clinical examples and treatment/timing statements require independent verification. The unilateral-wheezing/pneumothorax shortcut is not established by the assigned educational chapter and should not be used as a diagnostic rule.
• 26:49–27:43 and 44:52: feedback research and checklist sequencing are overstated as...
Teaching in the Field — Short test
Season 13 testing version A: a focused 17:49 discussion of designing, observing and debriefing one field teaching station. Compare with the Extended test, which covers the broader Wilderness Medicine Education chapter. This shorter version deliberately has a narrower scope.
A clearly hypothetical map-reading and radio exercise connects learner needs, observable objectives, physical and psychological safety, progressive practice, specific feedback and a repeat attempt.

Safety Science — Quarter 4: Risk and Resilience
Quarter4 | April–June. Steve Smith, Safety Science for Outdoor & Experiential Education, Chapters13–16 and AppendicesA/B. Generated from original reviewer-authored secondary notes. Read the original book; no original chapter PDF is supplied.
Important source-comparison notes
08:15–08:24; 11:30–12:48; 14:54–15:18; 21:45–22:04: “Almost always,” broad cultural explanations, the asserted psychosocial “root cause” and measured physical effect, and “not learning anything” overstate the notes. Explore possible influences and individual perspectives; no universal cultural claim, demonstrated causal chain, neurobiological conclusion or effect size is established.08:33–09:22; 34:34–35:28: The DKA/insulin-storage and severe-hypothermia sequences are added clinical analogies, not assigned clinical sources or care algorithms. Lack of a refrigerator does not by itself establish...Safety Science — Quarter 3: Learning and Culture
Quarter3 | January–March. Companion to Steve Smith, Safety Science for Outdoor & Experiential Education, Chapters9–12, generated from original reviewer-authored secondary notes. Read the assigned chapters in your own book; an original book PDF is not supplied.
Source-comparison notes
00:25–00:35; 04:35–04:40; 18:21–18:25: “Guaranteeing” recurrence, an identical next-team outcome, and “never speak up again” are rhetorical overstatements. The notes describe possible influences, not deterministic predictions or measured effects.03:09–03:15: The uploaded notes discuss hindsight bias; they do not establish an automatic biological mechanism or a complete psychological taxonomy.19:03–19:07; 19:29–19:30: The RAW scenario is fictional. “Organizational failure” and the answer “none” about information reaching the leader are added interpretations...Safety Science — Quarter 2: Reporting and Real Work
Quarter2 | October–December. Original secondary reading-note companion to Steve Smith, Safety Science for Outdoor & Experiential Education, Chapters5–8 and the Looking Forward transition. Fellows must read the originals in their own book. This is not an original chapter PDF or clinical, technical or legal guidance.
Source-comparison notes
13:13–13:22; 14:34–15:22: The medication-error discussion and fictional misconduct examples do not determine negligence, guilt, innocence or an individual’s actual accountability. The statement that an error is “not…negligence at all” goes beyond the secondary notes. A systems inquiry does not settle legal or safeguarding findings.17:12–18:07; 31:44–33:41; 41:45–42:00: Specific clock times, shift lengths, automatic rescue responses and 1...Safety Science — Quarter 1: Foundations and Systems
Quarter1 | July–September. Original secondary reading-note companion to Steve Smith, Safety Science for Outdoor & Experiential Education, Foreword, Introduction and Chapters1–4. Fellows must read the assigned sections in their own book. This is not an original book PDF or clinical/technical/legal guidance.
Source-comparison notes
00:00–00:58; 20:57–21:50; 24:59–25:29; 33:47–36:45: The RAW/rope/anchor and causal-map examples are fictional discussion exercises. They establish no technical rescue standard, actual program policy, demonstrated causal chain or quantified proximity to catastrophe. A clean incident log does not establish safety, but neither does this fictional account prove that luck alone prevented a fatality.14:11–14:14; 22:47–22:54: “Statistical probability” and “will always fail” are...Heat Illnesses: Reading Uncertainty and Preparation

Avalanche Extrication: Observations That Survive the Handoff
IMPORTANT CLINICAL CLARIFICATIONS — READ BEFORE LISTENING
At 26:06–28:49 and 46:52, unknown temperature is overgeneralized. Follow the separate short-burial and long/unknown-duration branches of ICAR Figure 3, including all upstream decisions and footnote 4. “Consider termination” is a conditional decision, never an automatic timer.
The 10–15 minute example at 34:18 is not an ICAR-prescribed allowable pause. Do not use it as a CPR interruption protocol. Apply the exact temperature and operational conditions in footnote 3 and the applicable current expert protocol with qualified rescue leadership.
Do not interpret the certainty language at 20:28–21:13 or 39:43–40:03 as diagnostic proof of irreversible death. Preserve the full witnessed...
Anaphylaxis After Apparent Improvement: Recognition, Reassessment and Evacuation
Faculty-approved corrections: read with the recording and applicable clinical/operational direction.
18:03–18:08;20:07–20:12 — Epinephrine first does not mean epinephrine only until the airway/pulse is stable. Do not delay it for adjuncts, but retain indicated supportive care and the source’s concurrent-treatment branches, including fluids with further epinephrine for persistent hypotension and oxygen/appropriate adjuncts where indicated. The hospital cocktail aside is not a complete regimen (WMS2022, pp7,12–13).38:43–40:44 — The cited observation NPV is not a personal “one in20 will crash” prediction or proof of a safe one-hour field walkout. The source’s short-observation discussion selects nonsevere, promptly responding, low-risk patients in a medical center...Pit Viper Decisions: From Field Handoff to Conditional Follow-Up
Faculty-approved corrections: read with the recording and applicable clinical/operational direction.
43:57–44:02 — “Push through” is not a blanket instruction to continue an infusion during an allergic reaction. The supplied Fab2AV passage says pause the infusion, treat the reaction, then consider slower restart. Critical-illness benefit-risk discussion does not remove this reaction-management branch (WMS 2026, pp9,12–13).29:44–30:11 — The supplied paper does not establish the spoken 25% progression figure. Its minor-envenomation observation/treatment passages are internally inconsistent; do not turn the stated 24-hour period into a resolved watch-and-wait algorithm or dry-bite clearance. Preserve clinical progression and expert/source review (WMS 2026, pp7–10).16:49–16:59;39:40–42:28 — Harmful tourniquet effects are not a guarantee of...Burn Care in the Wilderness: Changing Findings, Resources and the Next Decision
Faculty-approved corrections: read with the recording and applicable clinical/operational direction.
08:24–09:15 — Do not interpret field toxic exposure or airway difficulty as untreatable, or as an instruction to wait regardless of available capability. The supplied source includes open air/oxygen if available and appropriately skilled/equipped airway care; waiting for advanced rescuers is conditional. Its retained antidote-name anomaly is not a treatment instruction (p2).33:28–33:55;50:10–50:24 — Dark/scant or absent urine is not, by itself, a diagnosis or an automatic fluid-increase rule. Retain the source’s overall volume/perfusion reassessment and both under- and over-resuscitation risks. Its urine proxy is conditional on unmeasura...MedWAR: Designing the Course, Keeping Teams Accounted For

Historical examples do not establish current event rules, budgets or clinical authority.
Clinical Corrections and Clarifications
34:52–35:33, 40:31 and 47:52–48:08 — Learning and retention: The reported 71% to 89.7% change is 18.7 percentage points in immediate simulated performance, not measured retention or proof of permanent learning. The chapter also reports mixed stress findings and no one-year performance advantage in a separate simulation comparison. [1].
39:03–39:17 — Ultrasound evidence: The chapter reports a pneumothorax comparison...
Bites and Envenomations: Reading the Local Pathway
Faculty-reviewed clinical/source corrections — read before applying the discussion.
26:14–28:28 — IV epinephrine: The spoken preparation/push arithmetic is not an approved bedside recipe or an official correction of AM1. Its volume/dose expression remains unresolved; use the exact original and current agency/medical-control clarification. No substitute regimen is supplied here.18:27–20:01 — IN midazolam: The recalled 5 mg/request is an unsourced fictional example, not an endorsed SCEMS standing order or actual medical-control authorization.

Clinical Corrections and Clarifications
34:53–36:37 — Oxygen: Do not use the high-80s saturation target or the claim that oxygen merely changes the time of death. WMS 2024 supports ongoing oxygen targeting SpO₂ above 90% or symptom relief when descent is delayed or infeasible. Descent, monitoring and reassessment remain important.

[1]11:34–16:57 — Pretrip medicines: Individualize medication and pulmonary-risk review.

The fictional 20-minute/four-hour comparison...
