I have known many nurses to get out of speeding tickets for this very reason, lmao.
Well, on a sad note... my son was on call [OR Tech at Shannon Medical Center] and exceeded the posted speed limit in his attempt to get to the OR. He was pulled over by one of San Angelo's LEOs, then taken to jail! He told the officer he was trying to get to the OR d/t called in for an emergency surgical procedure. The cop let him call the OR to tell them he would be able to come in to work. :angryfire

Here is something I read that I thought was funny;
A motorcycle cop was rushed to the hospital with an inflamed appendix. From the ER he was transferred to the OR and an appendectomy was performed. The surgery went well, however the patient kept feeling a tightness on the surface of his chest. Worried & very concerned he finally pulled his gown over enough to see what was the problem. Three wide strips of adhesive tape were firmly affixed across his hairy chest.
On the tape read; "Get well soon but think twice before you give a nurse a speeding ticket."
