Ours seem to come in batches. Lots of CHF, COPD, DM, wounds, and right now several IV cases at once, which we don't usually have a lot of, nevermind several at the same time.

I agree with Kate. Sometimes I may have several PICCs and then go for months without having any. Then we seem to get wound vacs in batches too. I live in SC, so we're in diabetic country down here.
