I had an incredibly long and boring shift at work today, and spent it coming up with a list of "things I learned from ER/Noah". It definitely helps pass the time. Plus, there are actually some things on this list that are relevant to my studies- so thanks for that, ER...
Anyway, I think it should fit nicely in this thread. Feel free to add your own.
Things ER (and Carter) has taught me:
[/li][li]... exactly how to insert an I/V needle.
[/li][li]twice.
[/li][li]When someone says "clear" while shocking a patient, STAY CLEAR.

[/li][li]Never date a doctor
[/li][li]Never date a psychiatrist
[/li][li]Never date a paramedic
[/li][li]Never date a firefighter
[/li][li]Never date a cop
[/li][li]Never date a lawyer
[/li][li]Never date Abby
[/li][li]In a Valantine's Day party, avoid having a blue cake
