ajnelson Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Always nice to have some real patients to take care of. (My shift the other night consisted of 30ish patients, half of which were bounce backs, the other half were there for dental pain, I need a pregnancy test (with no complaints), my acne hurts, etc...).
