We keep a "tip" jar.  So far we have had 2 donations!  It is a good
deterrent if nothing else!

Yes, nicked the corner of a steel blade reaching for slide. This was 
back in 78 or 79. It was a Saturday, working by myself and I had to wait

for 3 hours in the ER. No preferential treatment for employees in a 
county hospital.
