@umadbro.... you are wrong again . "non matched effects" has PBA symptoms plus periods of psychosis lasting until match day or 3 months; which ever comes first

@scaredkinda.....agreed with you...I'm reading step 3 materials (though I've passed it long ago)

SIRS criteria presence of any two)
Temperature >38.3 or 90 beats/min
Respiratory rate >20 breaths/min
wbc: < 4000 or >12,000

Hey can anybody explain to me ? if you exercise for 10 minutes you will meet 2 criteria heart rate and respiratory rate. But we don't say SIRS in that case. So where is the flaw in my understanding?
