I'd hate to be the nurse working on that floor!
lol, nice name you gave him, "stemi". love it.
Nice post title. :)
We called it the "cardiac craft unit".
Where you can always be sure to find someone doing needlepoint at the nursing station.

Thanks for the laugh!

I know you Neurologists are smart cookies but them's some impressive skillz.
