Not a medical story, but one I heard on the radio. The talk show host was going somewhere on Christmas and stopped at a stoplight. There, on the corner, is a little girl about four years old, crying her eyes out. Her puppy was laying in the middle of the street, the bow still around its neck. ---

No stories tonight, but I thought maybe some of you might enjoy playing with some [ACLS](http://www.acls.net/), [Trauma](http://www.trauma.org/resus/moulage/moulage.html), and [Pre-Hospital](http://www.lessstress.com/simulator/sim.htm) training simulators. Here’s the [Visible Human project](http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/visible/visible_human.html) link too They all come from [CodeRN2](http://home.earthlink.net/~codern2/) a collection of medical professional websites. I highly recommend the pre-hospital trainer, it’s pretty funny. ---

Oh, man! This keeps happening to me as I read this thread! I thought of the greatest story, but I can’t post it yet because it hasn’t been adjudicated! The punchline is, “You’d forget your head if it wasn’t attached.” ---

[QUOTE=WhyNot] As the mom of a former 620 gram [micropreemie](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/rhiannon_dreamsnake/detail?.dir=10a4&.dnm=af97.jpg&.src=ph) \*, let me just take this opportunity where all you Medical Dopers are gathered to say THANK YOU! Y’all are awesome and what you do really, really matters. And **picunurse** , I also thought the “They feel funny and they try to die when you give them a bath.” was hilarious. So true. Little buggers. But I’m on the waiting list for nursing school to become a NICU nurse anyway. 😃 \*[monty python voice] [She got better!](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/rhiannon_dreamsnake/detail?.dir=/3e83re2&.dnm=73d0re2.jpg&.src=ph) [/mpv] But still [not real fond of baths.](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/rhiannon_dreamsnake/detail?.dir=/3e83re2&.dnm=2607re2.jpg&.src=ph) [/QUOTE] Thanks for the happy ending! I hope my co-workers don’t see me wiping my eyes. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/stories-to-make-a-grown-man-cry-not-for-the-faint-of-heart/353747.md?page=3)
