  1. ICU Essentials!

    This is the only one you'll need besides a stethoscope.
  2. Stupidest reason to go to ER

    Freakin' hilarious! If I had been present, I would have needed depends from laughing...I also refuse to subscribe to the "customer service" bs. If they need straight-talk, that's what they'll get.
