  5. I wonder if this is why his peers stood by and let him drive to crazy town..maybe they were like "let this play out (making sure the victim did not get roughed up too much)" and we can be rid of this liability. I've baited a few traps in my day...or ...

  8. Client vs Patient

    Just finished my first week of nursing school, The term "client" is used exclusively at my state university, as well as the ATI learning modules. My guess is it's the new PC thing to say.
