Had I known earlier that you were accepting donations, I would have given you the large box of 22-gauge IV catheters I brought back with me from my externship. I gave them to Dr. Karen but I imagine you could call or email her and ask her if you could take at least half of them!!!! Tell her I told you it was okay with me, since you guys are needing these for live, needy animals right *now*, as opposed to practice on a fake arm. :)
ReplyDeleteI wish you ladies the best and am so proud of you! I hope you have amazing experiences and I can't wait to hear about it. *HUGS*
Thanks Bri! I'm meeting with Dr. Jeff next week to pick up some supplies, so I'll mention that to him.
