oops I forgot to renew the domain. To be honest, I haven't been able to give it the attention that it deserves lately. If anyone wants to take over, feel free to. I'll be glad to send the files over.
I had a patient in a 4 bed room. She did not have a nightstand to put all of her belongings in but I told her that her roommate was getting discharged and she could have it. When the other pt left, the husband wheeled it over... leaving it in front o...
