    Always_Learning replied to Trekfan's topic in Emergency

    I always love when folks come in with 10/10 abdominal pain, cringing and writhing, and after triage they head to the vending machines and return with Doritos and Mountain Dew.

    Could I be the only reformed misfit in nursing school?
