ER Prerequisites
October 31st, 2008 · No Comments

Nothing is more fun than trying to x-ray a drunk. It is more than frustrating. It is embarassing for the family to have to deal with them while they are […]

Halloween is not even past yet, and Christmas stuff […]

More Stimulus Checks?
October 22nd, 2008 · No Comments
After reading an article on CNN.com, it seems that lawmakers are feeling compelled to do more to boost the economy which could mean a second stimulus package during “its lame- duck session following the presidential election.” They are saying that some parts of the country are already in a recession.
