ABC:

OPQRST - Onset, Provaction, Quality, Raditation, Severity, Time.

DCAP-BTLS: Defomities, Contusions, Abrasions, Punctures, Burns, Tenderness, Lacerations, Swelling.

Causes of coma - AEIOU-TIPS:
Acidosis / Alcohol
Epilepsy
Infection
Overdose
Uremia
Trauma
Insulin: too little or or too much
Pyschosis
Stroke

have to disagree with you chief; S is not signs and symptoms (all your textbooks are WRONG) Symptoms, yes; signs - not if it is history!!!

OPQRST should read
Onset as a "what" question; not a "when" question
Provokes and Palliates
Quality
Region and Radiation
Severity
0-10 is worthless
"None, Mild, moderate, severe, extreme"
Time:
Began
Changed, better or worse
Ended

Medications
Street
Herbal
Over-the-counter
Prescription

Have to disagree with both of you. He did not ask for anything related to EMS at all anyhow.

Balivation
Lacrimation
Urination
Defecation
GI issues
Emeseis
Eiosis

Thing to looks for in a hazmat chemical exposure situation.

Balivation?
Eiosis?

What the heck are those? do you mean Salivation? I can't find Eiosis anywhere in any dictionary.
Is the mnemonic supposed to spell SLUDGE?
