Hi Peter, thanks for contributing. A couple of things:

1. We're trying to move away from general citations at the bottom (we're taking this off of the other notes). Please use the reference function to cite exactly what you are referencing. In general, we prefer not citing secondary sources (such as Rosen's) but rather the primary source.
2. Please be very careful about the diagnostic workup sections. I know you are trained as an EMT, but you are putting in some information that is incorrect and/or misleading. Many physicians are using WikEM to determine their workups, so you want to be careful for any information that you don't fully understand (such as that is outside your current scope of practice).

Would it be OK to add the info on DC'ing pyridostigmine in myasthenic crisis due to increase secretions which can compromise the airway? Citing the following: Kumar, Vikas; Kaminski, Henry J.
