      - not quite, because smokers aren't hurting patients. -- nm - loosilu Nov 2, 07:15
    - ah, but you do interact with people who interact with patients? -- nm - Andie Nov 2, 07:03 1

- they're making it real difficult for us not to get it too. - Mel Profit Nov 2, 07:01 5

- I call the one near our home a roundabout, but bigger ones (like a few in DC) are circles. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 2, 06:11 2
