This is SO funny. I went to pre op classes yesterday, and we discussed all these issues. I heard myself saying "I've read..." several times when the nurses were talking about this or that. Items of "contention" included: straws, medical ID bracelets, NSAIDS, pop, chunky cream of ____ Soup, strained cream of ____ soup, how long to wait between medications, catheters, etc, etc, etc.
