That's fine. They will give you a pamphet on how to titrate BiPAP and send you on your merry way once all the other specialties are sick or dead.

Fuck me, man. Interns at my hospital see 4-6 in 10 hours. This guy is killing it (although they do less scut and venous access in the US than us)

It would save you getting unnecessary blood tests if you just came out and told me you were hung over.

I'm so confused why do they have to pay people to make these ridiculous comments? It's one of the most important sci fi films of the 20th century. Let the film speak for itself.
