Are you looking at a specific emergency department?? Or is it supposed to cover any emergency department?
We'll see how far I go with following up on the Health Presence. It will be interesting to at least see what they intend to do.

Thesis?? Good for you. what are you working on?
I still have another year of course work! But work is keeping me busy so I am happy to take it slow :)
