For info. my 'knowledge' is largely restricted to pre-hospital emergency medicine that I've learnt through work with a couple of voluntary first aid organisations. This means I tend to know stuff about serious acute conditions (traumatic and medical) and the trivial (e.g. dealing with a minor cut), but not so much the in between. Out of curiousity (and if this isn't being too nosey) what sort of course were you taking when you heard about this CSF leakage thing in lectures? |
