I have been given the honor of being chosen as the FSME for the medical Conspiracy Forum here on ATS. I would like to thank the administration and the members of ATS for thier support and well wishes in this new endeavor.

Many of you already know me, but given the staggering growth of ATS over the last year, many do not. I am a registered nurse by profession. My 12 year practice has almost exclusively been in the pediatric realm. Actually the ICU since almost the first day. Currently I am a pediatric critical care transport specialist. We are one of the few nurse led team on the West Coast (We do not take a doctor) and we function in the field at an advanced level. Be it plane, copter, ambulance, or boat, we will pick up a sick child anywhere. I also teach a variety of pediatric topics at both local nursing schools and for the internal education department at our hospital. Research is another area of interest for me and I have been part of several and ongoing studies. As with most nurses, we have alot of experience in many areas and may only master a few of them.

In the title of this post I said "Primum Non Nocere" which is Latin for "Do No Harm" and that is what I intend to do for this forum. It is my intention to help threads where I can, keep members current on trends and changes, highlight ongoing medical conspiracies and the like. I am fortunate that I have a host of excellent FSME's that I can emulate: infinite, SimonGray, Valhall, intelgurl, cmdrkeenkid, and others to make this task easier.

We live in an exciting time. Medical technology advances with each passing day. Stems cells, biotechnology, and others all hold promises beyond even our imagination, but also contain the seeds of conspiracy and corruption. I look foreword to exploring them all in great detail with you.

If you ever have any questions please u2u me.

Fred

One question. Does this mean you'll be like that guy at work who never explains anything, documents anything and throws out all the manuals for job security?

Thanks everybody!!!!!!!! Time to start dusting

Fred,

You may start with this one "giant dust bunnie"..

I'd like to know your thoughts on H5N1 avian influenza (probable upcoming pandemic). Specifically, if you have any inside medical information on the latest recombination that has occured in western China?

Also, do you know of any plans (federal or state) that are contemplated for the US?

FredT is ready for the job

FredT once helped me with an interview of mine about birth and when a person dies...

i recieved an "A+" on that project

Nothing has come my way and since SARS I have kept a keen interest on the subject. I am what we term the SPSS at work (Small Pox Suicide Squad) that has been reinoculated and would go into a hospital that has been quaranteened with the disease to help out (pediatric ICU only) so we have regular briefing on what is going on. But nothing inside as it were.

If I did you bet it would be on this site in a flash.

Thanks Fred.

Any new information would be appreicated, esspecially in the area of natural extracts (elderberry is one) that inhibit viral reproduction of the N protein, since I doubt that most of us would be able to get some of the very limited antivirals out there.

Thanks again.

PS: Maybe you could pin a special topic that contains information related to the outbreak and a section on how to survive the pandemic when it does come?

oooops put this in the wrong place
