[edit] Stylistic issues
Like many other first aid-related pages this article makes the capital mistake of addressing the reader in first person. The final section, for example, exhorts emergency physicians to keep their skills up-to-date. This is intensely patronising, annoying and childish. Nobody likes to be told what to do, especially by a free encyclopedia. Moreover, most readers are not emergency physicians, and a large number of them will never (need to) gain the relevant skills.

- I have edited the article accordingly. Please refrain from writing "you" apart from in a direct quote. JFW | T@lk 10:02, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Meanings of "medical"
The way this page is written, it does not deal with the idea that a surgical emergency might not be a medical emergency.
- This page does not make this distinction. Please sign your posts, Nqn. JFW | T@lk 10:04, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
[edit] US terminology
This article seems choc-a-block full of US style terminology. To make it clearer to all people, it needs some form of clean up.--jrleighton 04:21, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
- Care to give some examples so that whoever does this clean up knows what needs cleaning up? --Corvun 13:36, August 17, 2005 (UTC)

- Ah. I've been having a horrible time with timeouts here on Wikipedia too. I predict a fundraiser in the not-too-distant future. --Corvun 11:26, August 18, 2005 (UTC)
