Dear Mr. Flight Nurse

Dear Mr. Flight Nurse,
I'm sorry we weren't able to hand you our last patient with an IV ready to go. I know it must have been incredibly frustrating for you too have to do it yourself in the warmth of your helicopter. You see, for some reason I didn't quite have the sensitivity in my fingers to get it right. Oh yeah, that's right, because it was 25 degrees. That's maybe why the patient's skin was f-ing freezing, complicating matters.
We had the patient packaged well and he was alive, give us some credit. Yes, you got a helicopter ride to the top, I busted my ass for 2000 vertical feet. I'm sure all that turbulence was rough- I hope the barf bag treated you well.

Your's in this fine world of medicine,
Me
