I'm not in the cath lab, so interventional products are outside my scope. But we routinely use Arrow radial artery and femoral artery catheterization sets bedside depending on provider preference. They're most common, a BD product is secondary, and more used by the older anesthesia and vascular access providers.

I'd say it's the Midwest version of Florida, but you said Wisconsin instead of Ohio, so you just got some weirdos.

Might have been made in our plant. Most of what we make at our plant are are Right Heart wedge-pressure catheters,
thermodilution catheters, bi-polar pacing catheters Berman angiographic catheter , gall bladder catheters, sheath introducers, IAB catheters and IAB pumps... crap like that.

We sell the Right Heart line of catheters for about $20-$40 each (depending on which specific one) to the hospitals. I wonder how much the hospital charges the patient for them.

For the SECOND time in less than a year, Comcast workers, installing cable a couple doors down, cut my FIOS cable. WTF....suppose they do this on purpose?

First time the service vehicle was pulling away as I realized what happened and couldn't confront them. This time, as soon as I saw them trenching behind my house, I turned on the TV to wait for the cable to **** the bed....sure enough, not more than 20 minutes after groundbreaking. I ran out immediately, but it turns out my 2 years of high school Spanish from 78/79 was a little rusty. I did manage to get my point across eventually....the 'leader' spent a good ten minutes on the phone and came to tell me that FIOS was notified and would be out in three hours...but that they were only following the spray painted lines that Verizon had made...so, it wasn't their fault. Of course 3 hours would be long after they were gone....so the guy may have just said that to shut me up....it worked...and nobody came out that evening. Granted, it may not have been their fault....but this **** is nuts....wouldn't surprise me in the least if it was intentional....but they're CABLE GUYS for **** sake...can't they fix my cable after they **** it up? I, too, called Verizon while they were still there....but by the time I got an actual person (luckily, my Tagalog is a little better than my Spanish), 30 minutes later, they were gone.

I don't understand...these are 20+ year old townhouses...all built with buried cable...why the **** they have to retrench every time someone new moves in is beyond me....the common areas are perpetually spraypainted up in every color of the rainbow....somehow, it seems that in 2017 this shouldn't be so fn hard

Two points to consider......

First point - They keep no record of what they do or how they connect things and the cable is cheap and installation is low voltage so no electrician needed. So it is easier to lay new cable then to figure out what is going on. Add to that the risk that there is a nick in the cable (which they never bury deep enough) or a malfunction in a connector - they solve it all by starting fresh with new stuff.

What drives me crazy is the guys that lay cable on the ground and say someone else is coming back to bury it, which may or may not happen. OR they tack the cable up and down and around the outside wall when a cleaner look would be achieved by fishing the line through a crawlspace, wall or attic.

Second point to consider - The SSG is stalking you. Just ask Mr. Jones for details.

I don't challenge either point. I agree 100%. I also agree with your subpoints....it is a rare month that goes by when there isn't an orange cable laying across the grass in the common area. And, if the SSG isn't....Mr. Jones, probably is... he has suggested (on more than one occasion) that I have a red dot on my forehead

A bindi is a red dot worn on the center of the forehead, commonly by Hindu and Jain women.

Not sure what kind of mags Victor would send that would scare off "youngish folks" in today's day and age.. Poor Gummy would most likely end up with youngish folks looking at those mags and masturbating on his front porch then he would still have to give them a 10 bucks and some water lmaoooo... Think Blink
