I'm surprised some DUmmie didn't do some clicking and slap Nadine in the face with this.
an aaside: The next time anyone is at the Doctor's office and IF you have a GOOD relationship with him. Bring up his younger, 'Resident days' at a Hospital, then mention doing 'Triage' in the ER. Their reaction is usually like a punch to the gut with Brass Knuckles.

It's Nadin's cow tipping point! Free TRIAGE milk!
