But they adopted a deliberate policy of kowtowing to the right, backing away from every fight, believing compliance would protect the license fee, and the right would leave them alone.
Stand up to bullies, or get knocked down by reality.

Largest ever study of peripheral 23.4% NaCl with 863 administrations 😀
Some extravasation did occur, but it *didn't* lead to any major problems (tissue necrosis etc)
If someone is having an ICP crisis, you should worry about their BRAIN and not their ARM - their arm will be fine #EMIMCC
