I originally wrote one of these rounds. * Game 4, Round 4 - Science - Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures Author and emergency doctor Vincent Lam's bestseller and Giller Prize winner "Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures" contains a glossary to help readers with the medical terms. The questions in this round are based on these terms, though we may not use exactly the same definitions as Dr. Lam. 1. What is the name given to a trolley containing various types of equipment used to respond to emergency situations, such as cardiac arrest? 2. What term refers to a nurse who is available for assignment on an ad hoc basis? 3. You are an emergency room physician. Your patient has just arrived VSA. This is not good. Expand the acronym or just explain the situation. 4. What emergency is designated "Code Blue"? 5. What is the purpose of a thrombolytic medication? 6. What is the name for the arrythmia in which the heart contracts in a chaotic, uncoordinated way? 7. What """does""" FRCPC after a doctor's name mean? 8. What """does""" an Accu-Chek device test? 9. Tachycardia refers to an accelerated heart rate; what name is given to the opposite condition, an abnormally slow heart rate? 10. Which heart valve connects the left atrium and the left ventricle? * Game 4, Round 6 - History - Life after Henry In each case, name the successor to Henry, and be sufficiently specific. 1. King Henry I of England died in 1135. With no legitimate male heir, he had decreed that his daughter would inherit the throne, but most of England's barons disputed the accession of a female and backed Henry's nephew. A civil war ensued, sometimes called the Anarchy; it ended with a compromise where the male became king but the throne would descend through his rival's line. Name *either* of the rival heirs to Henry I: his daughter or his nephew. 2. King Henry II of England died in 1189. One of his sons succeeded to the throne and ruled for 10 years, but spent only a few months of this in England since he was always going off on wars, such as the Third Crusade. Name him. 3. King Henry III of England died in 1272. He was succeeded by his son, who fought in the Eighth Crusade, conquered Wales, and waged war against Scotland, defeating the rebel William Wallace. Name this king, who reigned until 1307. 4. King Henry IV of England died in 1413. He was succeeded by his son, who defeated the French at Agincourt and various other places. As a result he was named heir to the French throne, although he died before he could inherit it. Name him. 5. King Henry V of England died in 1422. His successor as King of England and France was his infant son. During the resulting regency and the son's eventual ineffectual rule, Britain lost most of its territory in France, and then the king found himself involved in another civil war. Name him. 6. During the Wars of the Roses, King Henry VI of England, of the House of Lancaster, saw the throne go back and forth between himself and his rival from the House of York, who was his third cousin. The cousin took it for keeps when Henry VI was imprisoned and then murdered in 1471, and ruled until 1483. Name him. 7. King Henry VII of England died in 1509 and was succeeded by his son, who would also become King of Ireland, who fought against the French and the Scots, and whose turbulent private life would have world-changing consequences. Name him. 8. King Henry VIII of England died in 1547. He was succeeded by his 9-year-old son, who never took the throne in his own right since he himself died in 1553. Name him. 9. William Henry Harrison, nicknamed Old Tippecanoe after an old battle, gave a two-hour inaugural speech in terrible weather in 1841, and promptly got sick and became the first American president to die in office. He was succeeded by his vice-president, who had been mentioned alongside Tippecanoe in Harrison's campaign slogan. Name this successor, who broke with the Whig Party and arranged for the annexation of Texas. 10. Henry Ford didn't die in 1918, but he did turn over the presidency of the Ford Motor Co. to his son. Name him. -- Mark Brader | "Well, in difficult circumstances, sacrifices do Toronto | have to be made -- especially by ordinary people." msb@vex.net | --Sir Humphrey ("Yes, Prime Minister" (2013), Lynn & Jay) My text in this article is in the public domain. |
