Thanks David....that was a great one.

I own your Med-Surg certification study course. In that course you mention a
study that showed that every degree of temperature reduction in in the febrile
patient lowers the oxygen consumption by a certain amount. Would you cite that
study for me please? I have looked for it, but been unable to locate that
study.

Thanks very much.
