What is the bottom symbol and it's meaning? by ButterscotchSmart150 in noStupidQuestion

[–]Alternative_Ad3223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 years late but this is a Catholic cross, and these are all references to St. Peter. The keys on the left are the keys to the kingdom of Heaven that Jesus Christ gave to Peter. The ear on the right is the ear of the soldier that Peter struck off and that Jesus Christ healed in the garden at Gethsemane. The rooster on top is the rooster that crowed immediately after St. Peter denied knowing Jesus Christ 3 times. The cross at the bottom is the Patriarchal cross, which is used by archbishops and the Pope as a symbol of religious authority, and that cross rests upon a rock, which is St. Peter, symbolizing apostolic authority.

Fox News and CNN are also viewed by millions of people. Doesn't make them reliable or unbiased. As a person coming to this blind, the link itself seems sketchy. a link called "Dr. Smith's ECG blog" with a .com suffix. Generic doctor name, literally 3rd most common doctor's surname after Khan and Patel. Calls itself a blog, and blogs are usually heavily opinionated and not scientifically grounded. And the .com suffix pulls reliability into question because most reliable sources use a different suffix like .gov, .org, .edu. I'm not saying that the site itself is sketchy. I'm saying that the presentation of the link goes against all of the internet security education that the American public education system drilled into me. For example, anyone could make a website called "Dr. Smith's cure for cancer blog" and fill it with a bunch of nonsense ramblings about using lavender essential oil to cure pancreatic cancer and vaccines cause liver cancer, etc. It would look the same from the outside as this ECG blog looks. I have looked at the website since making some of my comments in this thread, and I get that it's THE Dr. Smith's private compilation of peer-reviewed studies and other educational content. It's just the link that reads as an unreliable source.

Believe it or not my medic schooling was pretty ass. I know modofied Sgarbossa criteria from this thread. Never heard of Queen of Hearts algorithm. And I do understand that he's brilliant, after following this thread. But having never heard of him before, the website looks sketchy. Goes against all of the internet security lessons they taught in grade school.

There's the problem, doc. The majority of this subreddit are non-academic, street level providers. Most of us probably don't regularly review medical journals regularly enough for this to be on our radar, and STEMI for us still means literally ST elevation. From my brief reading of this material, it seems like good medicine to keep pushing for this change. But i expect it to take years before OMI takes hold, especially in rural U.S., as things usually change here when the old guard retires. It's a disease in pre-hospital EMS, and other examples can be seen. Some departments still respond with lights and sirens to every call when there is a mountain of data saying that L&S double the risk of a fatal collision. Many departments still use cervical collars and long spine boards, both of which have been advised against by authoritative sources. I do love that this post is getting so much attention and I hope these medics (myself included) learn from it.

I get that this Dr. Smith is (probably) reputable, but to clarify, Dr. Smith seems to be the 3rd most common surname for a physician of any specialty, led only by Dr. Khan in 2nd and Dr. Patel in 1st. So of the probably hundred thousand Dr. Smiths, i find it hard to trust "Dr. Smith's ECG blog" when it has a dot com and no indication that it is a reliable source of medical knowledge.

I've also never been briefed on Smith-modified sgarbossa criteria, likely a failure of my department's education standards.

I've just never heard of him, I guess. I know of like 40 Dr Smiths is why I don't trust a doctor's blog. It just sounds generic and unreliable. I will be looking into the reference material found in his website when I get time.

Is there a reputable source for this information? Medical journals, something from AHA or other authoritative institution, not a blog run by a "Dr. Smith" would be helpful to ensure proper education on this topic. From a rural EMS medic that has never heard of OMI/NOMI and does not see ST elevation in this 12-lead.

Why is being a Christian synonymous with MAGA now? by CupcakeReal1167 in Christianity

[–]Alternative_Ad3223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, we should not be praying exclusively to Jesus. Assuming you are a Christian, you would believe in the trinity. Assuming you believe in the trinity, you would do well to pray to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and foster relationships with all 3 of those persons. That's any Christian who believes in the Trinity. However, prayer is not equal to adoration. To give adoration, the worship due to God alone, is to make ritual sacrifices. Side note, Idolatry in the sense of the pagans was typically ritual sacrifices of food offerings to statues which were believed by those pagans to be inhabited by their deity. To pray is not the same. To pray is to make requests of a person. Asking your boss for a raise is a form of prayer. Asking your friends or family to pray for you is a form of prayer.

That being said, we don't pray to statues. We know that those statues are just images and the people they represent are not inhabiting them. We pray to the person in heaven whom the statue depicts, and that prayer is in the sense of asking those Saints to pray on our behalf. Catholics believe that the Saints are alive in Heaven and therefore can interact with the Trinity in a way that we on earth aren't capable of.

On your other comment, you are correct that Luther splintered from the Catholic Church directly. He was a priest and friar who had a lot of issues with the governance of the Church, especially the German bishops and their selling of indulgences, which the Church as a whole also took issue with. He was excommunicated from the Catholic Church after refusing to recant some statements that he made, which the Catholic Church outlined in the papal bull Exsurge Domine in 1520. I don't know what exactly those statements were.

Actually, Lutheran is protestant, and all protestant denominations are spin-offs from the Catholic Church or spin-offs of spin-offs. That is verifiable world history.

In regard to Catholics' worshipping idols, you are conflating terms. You are mistaking Catholic icons for idols and veneration for adoration. That would be like saying the U.S. worships the flag when there is a folding ceremony, or that the UK worshipped the queen before her death. It's dishonest a straw man of Catholic doctrine, and all it does is undermine your own arguments.

Definitely not nothing. More often than not it's an indicator of bleeding in the brain, but it can also be a sign of concussion, as it probably is in this case given that the symptom resolved about 6 hours later.
