My cardiac surgeons expected extra money but doctors and nurses were content with a jar of coffee or a large chocolate bar. A surgery resident who treated and helped me for some months refused even some money for a few meals at a restaurant.<br /><br />I like your list. Here's hoping you mend quickly and feel better fast!<br /><br />RobAmerican Russia Observationshttp://www.amrusob.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
