Geez.............I can just see a new "white coat" occupational nurse position being posted as we speak.

:nono:That means it is ok to smoke/do drugs if you are able to pay, that sucks:down:

Specializes in Emergency.

Type A Personality $20

(After all, we all know that they are more prone to stress related illnesses, and they could be calmer if they just CHOSE to be.)

Pregnancy $100

(Why should I have to pay for this? It IS voluntary.)

Live-in Teenagers $500

(They definitely contribute to the mental illness of the adults in the household. You COULD just board them out until they reach twenty-one.)
