Have you ever ridden in an Uber, Lyft, or Taxi? If so you might be able to relate to this week's podcast episode. Liz and Toni are discussing ride sharing etiquette and a few tips for their drivers.

Take Aways:

1. Drive assertively, but also safely. Don't kill your passengers, they still have to pay, tip, leave a review at the end of the ride.
2. This isn't the Daytona 500. Take turns at reasonable speeds.
3. We like a car that smells clean... not SCENTED.
4. We also like a car that is clean. You don't have to drive a BMW, but please make an effort to keep the back seat useable.

Finishing up our conversation with Guire about not annoying your ER nurse.  We wander into not annoying other patients and how Toni transports her husband to the ER.  Guire has more good tips about conversation etiquette with your nurse and we finish up with our final take aways.

What really constitutes an emergency?  Does anyone really like needles and shots?  Do I need to clarify that I do not like shots or needles?  Meet our friend Guire.  He is the ER nurse we all hope to get when we have to visit the ER!  ...and, let's be serious, we've all been there!  Today, we chat all things ER.

Take Aways:

1.  Stick with the 1-10 scale.  Don't tell the nurse it's a 12...it doesn't help.
2. Triage is an algorithm of 1-5 emergencies.  You are being skipped for a reason...someone else's emergency is more ....um, urgent!
3. Think of our medical system as one of finite resources.  If you are there for a scrape you will be using a resource that someone else, in more urgent need may need.
