    I'll make it even easier with no pharmacological agents involved. Visitor to me, ... "Nurse, I'm diabetic and feeling a bit faint, would you please take my blood sugar, pressure, and pulse?" My...
  7. Would you please clarify the above comment prior to my making any conclusion as to it's meaning. Because I read this as eluding to a Nurse having been shot under the same circumstances being brought...
  8. I'm mad and sad(about pt's family)

  22. And I would say that this particular future shortage will be the most severe ever seen. I base this opinion on published government census and employment outlook projections. So hang in there to all...
