The Four T's

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A common term used in several different medical and non-medical contexts: no indication that this particular usage is primary, or more notable than the other 3 medical uses I find in my first page of ghits. DePRODded by original author. Pam D  20:04, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

 * consider merge to Mediastinum. Lesion  ( talk ) 22:01, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment: First couple of pages of my Ghits include The four T's of diabetes, resuscitation (also here, page 9) and post-partum haemorrhage (but not mediastinum). Perhaps there's scope for a "List of medical uses of "The Four T's"" - but I wonder how many other similar sets of mnemonics there are, in this or other fields? Pam  D  22:38, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I had heard of the 4 Ts and the 4 Hs in resuscitation (see Cardiac_arrest and Hs and Ts, but this is not reason not to say 4ts on the mediastinum page imo. I am confused about why some of the sources for this mediastinum focused page discuss the 4ts of thrombocytopenia, and yet the page only talks about mediastinum masses. Clearly there are more than one use of the term "4T's", and if this article should be kept, it should discuss them all, and not be limited to one usage. Suggest if deleting this article, to go through each source and consider whether it is notable for merging to the relevant pages, such as Mediastinum ; thrombocytopenia, etc. Lesion  ( talk ) 17:59, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
