    "He ran into my knife. He ran into my knife ten times." Reminds me of the musical Chicago!
  10. I wonder if doctors ever worry about their portrayal in the media, since I can imagine people go to hospitals and then get angry when they aren't seeing their doctor more than once a day for 5 minutes. Or do they enjoy being shown as doing so many mo...

  12. Any advice for us "baby" Nursing students?
