Corrections 1
Consider these two patients:
A jail patient booked yesterday is referred to medical because of a history of drinking. He has a mild hand tremor and “the look” of a heavy drinker, but he says he feels fine and has no complaints. His blood pressure is 158/96 and his heart rate is 94.
A newly booked jail patient says that she is going to go through heroin withdrawal. She is nauseated but still eating and has no gooseflesh or rhinorrhea. Her heart rate is mildly elevated.

The emergence of appendix carry
Officer.com
Appendix carry is a method of carrying a handgun in the front of the waistband, forward of the hip. Over the past few years, appendix carry has become more popular, and more holster companies have thrown their products into the mix. The most promising thing coming from the increased popularity is the improvement of techniques.
Appendix carry has its advantages, but foremost is the ability to hide a big gun. Many users can put their duty gun into the waistband with no print, and present it quicker than any other carry system.
