    lcc1080 replied to betakurt's topic in General World

    empty-handed (LOL!). Imagine, maybe you finally meet the person of your dreams, and the AMA stands in the way! It's just that there seems to have been so much in the news recently about them coming...

    lcc1080 replied to newlilrn's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked with, been a patient of, and dated many docs (that I worked with!). This is a little different, because I barely knew him in the work I did - infrequently seeing him (I did not work in...
