You know this for a fact, eh? I think you would have your medical license pulled for doing something like that. Source please? If folks wish, I can get in touch with an old friend that I saw over this last weekend who's now an emergency medicine specialist (for which read "doctor who works only in the emergency room at a large hospital.) > If the treatment is given without that code certification, the > doctor can get sued. Succesfully. You can get sued for all sorts of things, but not for that, so far as I know. -- Perry E. Metzger [EMAIL PROTECTED]
