The Beauty of Staying Together (Former Title: DETOUR
Calvina, the young battered wife of Duane, is in desperate need of a new start in life. Will her jealous husband, the mad man with whom she had been unequally yoked, prove too much to ever hope for a chance of staying together--a chance to fix her troubled marriage?
We encourage you to read the two main character profiles before reading the first chapter. We can be so wrong in the strong initial opinions we form of people, which we see in The Beauty Of Staying Together (originally published under the title: Detour), a story based on true events.

What are the EMS Mnemonics?
EMS mnemonics were created primarily to help emergency medical technician (EMT) students remember information. EMS training in the United States is extremely demanding, partly because there is so much information to learn and retain. Some of the mnemonics are very helpful because they are frequently used. As a general rule, however, EMS mnemonics are not very helpful for remembering things. Once you introduce so many mnemonics, it becomes more and more difficult to remember the mnemonic itself.
Frequently Used EMS Mnemonics
Among the most frequently used mnemonics are:
1. SAMPLE
2. OPQRST
3. DCAP-BTLS
4. RICE
5. RICES
SAMPLE is:
S - signs and Symptoms
A - allergies
M - medications
P - pertinent past medical history
L - last oral intake
E - events leading to the injury or illness
SAMPLE helps the EMT student to remember the key information that needs to be gathered for patient care. This information is also passed on to the health care providers to whom patient care will be transferred. SAMPLE is one of the most popular EMS mnemonics
OPQRST is:
O - onset
P - provocation/palliation
Q - quality of pain
R - radiation/referred pain
S - severity of pain/discomfort
T - time
The use of OPQRST is explained in our article dedicated to this mnemonic. Please see link at end of article.
DCAP-BTLS is:
D - deformities
C - contusions
A - abrasions
P - puncture/penetrating wounds, paradoxical motion
B - burns
T - tenderness
L - lacerations
S - swelling
DCAP-BTLS is used to help you to remember what to look for when inspecting and palpating regions of the body.
RICE is:
R - rest
I - ice
C - compression
E - elevation
RICE can be employed to help you to remember treatment you might need to carry out for fractures, sprains, and strains. The mnemonic RICES is the same as RICE except that the "S" refers to splinting. RICES is used to help remind you of actions to take to treat closed, soft-tissue injuries.
These EMS mnemonics won't make sense to someone who is not an EMT student or someone who does not study the things that EMS students study.
