Stuck in a hotel room awaiting the start of an inventors' medical conference.

1. dude, we used to sit around thinking of medical devices we could invent and patent

so that we could retire. one of the ER nurses did that very thing. She was like our Hero ... sort of an urban legend around the hospital. it took her and her partners (husband and another couple) about three years but, eventually she was gone baby gone.

cool pic ... got a background story on it?

2. I have a patent for a medical device.

My royalties are more than $7.

3. thing is that you have to patent something disposable so that they have to keep buying it

the money is in the VOLUME SOLD ... we :thought: about this stuff. it is what we did in between emergencies. well, that and tell stories about remember that one time when ... you know ... how those go...

5. I'm also stuck in a hotel room awaiting the start of a conference

Of course 'stuck' is a misnomer, since the 'hotel' is more of a resort and the room is more of a suite - with a fireplace, nice big kitchen, balcony overlooking the pool, and all sorts of niftiness.

So what am I doing? DUing, just like I would be at home...
