Hello all and good morning. I just got off my shift at aviation (no hitter for once!) and I was thinking about poss. jobs outside of new york. It's just too damn expensive to live here on a medics pay when your single. I was wondering how u guys and gals are making out in the rest of the...

so here how this story goes. Last year on Valentines day, I was working the overnight in the Trauma room. It was very slow and no Pt's in at 4am. One of the medics got a stuffed bear as a gift, but she left it in our office. I took the bear, intubated it, put a c-collar on it and gave it an eye...
