I have just enough brain power to watch an episode of Friends. So I scrambled to prep this am: hypertension, hypotension and dysrhythmias. You know when you are a student and totally bored in class? Your teacher can tell that you are totally bored. And when you are surfing Facebook on your laptop? Yeah, your teacher can tell that too.
