She’s 23.

She is assisting in the emergency room when a doctor decides he has to intubate a patient. If you happen not to watch HOUSE, you can see what intubate means here. Right as he is starting with this procedure , one of the new-hire nurses pipes up and says OUTLOUD, “you are just doing that to crank up the bill!” The doctor stops what he is doing, looks at the in-charge nurse, and says “get her out of here, and I never want to see her again.” Harley’s daughter couldn’t believe it. “Dad,” she asked, “why didn’t her parents tell her what not to do on her first day? She should have kept her mouth shut.”

It got me to thinking. There are some rules that I may not have mentioned to my kids about work. I posted 42 of them over at US NEWS and WORLD REPORT today. These are the do’s and don’ts for your first week at the new job.
