But you knew all that already.

As to me being "upset"? No, not really. If anything, AmericanMade's posts just bring back all those memories of bitter, burned-out nurses I worked with, who were all too happy to find fault with every patient, usually based upon something every bit as shallow, ignorant, and petty as "He didn't care enough to wear a helmet; why should I care enough to help him?"
