    Hands up how many nurses have seen someone with advanced emphysema smoking through a trachie.
    Their advice is also coloured by the enforced policy of the respective hospital boards ... and their continued employment is usually reliant ... on their keeping to that policy.

    Speaking of learning the hard way...

    "Last Thursday night around midnight, a woman from Houston , Texas was ...arrested, jailed, and charged with manslaughter for shooting a man 6 times in the back as he was running away with her purse.

    The following Monday morning, the woman was called in front of the Arraignment Judge, sworn-in, and asked to explain her actions.
    ...
    The woman replied, "I was standing at the corner bus stop for about 15 minutes, waiting for the bus to take me home after work. I am a waitress at a local cafe. I was there alone, so I had my right hand on my pistol in my purse hanging on my left shoulder. All of a sudden I was spun around hard to my left. As I caught my balance, I saw a man running away with my purse. I looked down at my right hand and saw that my fingers were wrapped tightly around my pistol. The next thing I remember is saying out loud, "No Way Punk! You're not stealing my pay check and tips." I raised my right hand, pointed my pistol at the man running away from me with my purse, and started squeezing the trigger of my pistol.

    When asked by the arraignment judge, "Why did you shoot the man 6 times? The woman replied under oath, "Because, when I pulled the trigger the 7th time, it only went click."

    The woman was acquitted of all charges. She was back at work the next day! That's Gun Control, Texas Style"
