Thanks once again to everyone. I knew I had to get bossy-just needed a little push. Funny, I can be really bossy with patients-not so much with a friend. But as Anne-Marie suggested I'll put on my "Nurse from Hell" cap and get her moving!
And yes Anne-Marie, she also describes it as knives in her throat.
