    klone replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    Something doesn't add up. EDs don't provide abortions. The most they do is a) give emergency contraception post-rape, and B) give methotrexate to women who have an emergent ectopic pregnancy. As in, a...

    Hate my new hospital culture 2 days in, is it me?

    And that is why I've, in the past, been loathe to have this debate with you. Because anything other than wholehearted endorsement of every vaccine is seen by you as "irrational." If a woman is HBV...
