$ca|
'Cardiac Arrest!' allows you to assume the role of emergency 
physician.  You have a patient who is dying, and you have to act 
fast -- the right drugs, the right doses, the right procedures.

'Cardiac Arrest!' is a unique product.  No other simulation has
the capabilities you'll find in this program.  Cardiac Arrest! combines
a mathematical model of the circulatory system with on-screen EKG
plotting, and allows the user to interact through regular English
commands.  No special knowledge is required to use the program.

The most amazing thing about Cardiac Arrest! is that it's fun to use.
Our users find the variability and realism of this simulator to be
as stimulating as an adventure game.  In fact, while most of our
customers buy the simulator to help them certify in ACLS (advanced
cardiac life support), many are NOT physicians, nurses, or paramedics--
they're people who find it fun to 'play doctor.'  The Cardiac Arrest!
manual provides the medical knowledge required.

All this, for only $69.

ST-WORLD:
  ...one of the most realistic computer simulations I have ever seen.
  ...remarkably easy to use.
  ...both highly educational and fun to play.
  ...also...entertainment software for laymen who would like to try
     their hand at playing doctor.
  ...the manual is excellent.
  ...a quantum leap in interactive medical education.

ANTIC:
  ...fascinating, useful and an invaluable study aid in ACLS.
  ...impressive and amazingly complete.
  ...even if you don't have special knowledge of pharmacology and
     critical care, the down-to-earth, information-packed manual will
     make it possible for you to enjoy this software...
  ...Any school teaching relevant material should buy some Atari
     systems and this software.
  ...I'd advise any [ACLS] student...to buy this program immediately.

'Cardiac Arrest!' is a mathematical-model simulator.  No 'IF-THEN' or
'CHOOSE A,B,C' stuff.  The program loads a patient data file containing
information like blood glucose, serum potassium, fixed conduction block,
relative fibrillation threshhold, amount of cardiac scar, amount of
acute cardiac necrosis, cardiac damage location, etc, etc.  From this
data it calculates more obtuse variables such as cardiac irritability
and AV conduction block.  It decides on a heart rhythm, and calculates
the vital signs.  When you give an order, the effects are calculated
on a dose per kg basis, and all program variables are updated.  The
patient can do virtually anything a real patient can, except sue.

There are 45 patient data files on the Cardiac Arrest! disk.  Fifteen
are easier, fifteen difficult, and fifteen pediatric.  The user has the
option of choosing randomly, by category, or by specific problem.
For example, if you specify hypothermia, you'll be allowed to choose
among the three patients who have that problem.  Because Cardiac
Arrest! is based on mathematical probabilites, no patient will be
exactly the same twice.

Cardiac Arrest! is real, solid medical education for an amazingly
wide range of people.  Emergency medicine physicians, who resuscitate
dying patients every day, find this program as useful as paramedics
and nursing students do.  The manual is organized to give a quick
orientation, or in-depth discussion of disease and therapies.

The manual even allows someone with NO medical knowledge to use the
program.  Just as many people who own no airplane enjoy a flight
simulator, and many people who are not stockbrokers enjoy using a
stock market simulator, there are those who will find in Cardiac Arrest!
a challenging role-playing game.  The understanding of medical
decision-making processes--protocols, priorities, and 'hard data'
balanced against judgement--may be a mind-expanding side effect.

Cardiac Arrest! is part of a series of medical teaching software
intended for the acute care/intensive care market.  Most buyers of
Cardiac Arrest! also choose to purchase our other excellent software.
 
                            'ACLS Protocols'
uses a format similar to Cardiac Arrest!, but it's designed specifically
to teach the user the rhythm treatment protocols recommended in the
American Heart Association's ACLS manual.  Comes with a medical
information manual.  (formerly named Protocol Learning)  $29
 
                            'EKG Teaching'
demonstrates EKG parts, rhythms, and pathology patterns on-screen.  It
teaches rhythm strip interpretation for the beginner, but also has some
very helpful information for more advanced EKG readers.  Includes
tutorials and quizzes.  $29

                             'CardioQuiz'
is the standard 'CHOOSE A,B,C' type computer-assisted learning.  These
self-teaching quizzes prepare the user for the written ACLS test,
covering airway management, IV techniques, cardiac drugs, and more.
It's a great value for the buck.  $19
 
                            'Blood Gases'
is an incredibly underpriced package of learning activities.  You'll
learn normal values, A-a gradients, acid-base balance, and acidosis
therapy in tutorials and drills.  Included is a computerized blood
gas interpretation option.  $24

Cardiac Arrest!, ACLS Protocols, EKG Teaching, and CardioQuiz are
also available as a low-cost package.  For $109, you get all four
disks and manuals in an attractive 8 1/2 x 11 binder.  This is
an exceptional value for the serious ACLS learner.

All 'Mad Scientist' software is based on the latest ACLS standards.
The programs were created by an emergency physician, then extensively
tested in hospital emergency rooms and paramedic stations.  You'll
find that the medical teaching content is extremely practical.

Backup copies can be made of any Mad Scientist teaching disk.  The
programs can be transferred to double-sided disk or hard disk.
And, should ACLS standards change again, you can obtain an updated
disk from us for only $6.  Pretty fair, huh?
