Pizza would win our ER over in a heartbeat. Sounds thoughtful and a nice thing to do.

In a busy ER there is no such thing as too much of a kiss-ass when it comes to food.

Good luck to you. :)

I can't imagine any unit anywhere objecting.

Sodas with the pizza and chocolate for dessert would be even more welcome.

they will put it in a common area so everyone can benefit and your gesture will be appreciated. I am an Educator and frequently give the "leftovers" (snacks and beverages not opened, of course) to ER. No one has complained yet.

just be sure to let go of the food quickly or you may loose a finger

Pizza absolutely NOT! Are you serious food in a medical setting is highly inappropriate, and to bring cholcolate would be even worse, and forget it if you even thought of hot coffee, we would have to ask you to leave promptly! JUST KIDDING!!! Any thing that shows you are thinking of your coworkers is greatly appreciated! Thank you!!:hrnsmlys::hrnsmlys:

Dern, if evilnighgtwitch hadn't been kidding, I was going to suggest that you could just bring it on over to my unit now and we could figure this thing out over lunch!

hehehe
