To prevent uric acid stones, cut down on high-purine foods such as red meat, organ meats, and shellfish, and follow a healthy diet that contains mostly vegetables and fruits, whole grains, and low fat dairy products. Limit sugar-sweetened foods and drinks, especially those that contain high fructose corn syrup.
Paramedics provide medical attention to ill or injured individuals on emergency scenes. They are the highest level of emergency medical technicians, and working as a paramedic most often requires the completion of a certificate or associate's degree program.
Paramedics must often perform ACLS or PALS while still on the scene of an accident before they can transfer a critically injured patient. ACLS is a protocol for handling patients who are experiencing cardiac arrest. Advanced cardiovascular life support may be administered to a patient who has no discernible pulse.
