  2. Being called an idiot

    I'm ordering a uro consult tomorrow solely for the opportunity to use this line.
  3. Being called an idiot

    On the rare occasion I receive an "untoward" remark or tone, I immediately turn around as if searching for something behind me. After a few seconds, I turn back around and say, "Oh, sorry, I was just looking to see who you were talking to... because ...
  4. Do women find male nurses attractive?

    I believe a lot of you ladies have taught this young man a valuable lesson. But it's not the one you think.
  5. Do women find male nurses attractive?

  12. Organ Donation Organization Unethical

    If a family is asked a third time and they agree, was it wrong to ask again? I guess there's at least a couple of ways to look at that. Were they unethically badgered into submission while in a vulnerable state? Or did they receive the right informat...
  13. Organ Donation Organization Unethical

    Amateurish debate strategy. No points awarded.
  14. Organ Donation Organization Unethical

    OP, I believe this statement reveals the true essence of your argument and driving force of your rather defensive and rude replies. You find the entire concept to be distasteful, and you're verbally twisting disagreeing arms.Yes, families are in a st...
