Yesterday I was at a drug store and while i was shopping, a preteen girl approached me.
"Excuse me," she said. "I'm collecting money for my soccer team. Are you able to make a donation?"
I was really surprised. I've never been asked for money randomly while shopping at a store. I told her no, mostly because I was upset she interrupted me (I had my headphones in and I had to remove them to hear her). But part of me was tempted to either tell her what she was doing would get her kicked out of the store, or else let the management know.
Then I thought I'd seem like a horrible person if I did that. So I didn't.
What would you have done in that situation?

Cabbage
I was dictating an H&P about a patient who had a CABG, and I was amazed at how Dragon translated me saying "cabbage" into "CABG."
Me: "But what if I want to say 'cabbage'?"
My colleague: "Maybe if the context is right, it will use cabbage."
Me: [dictating] "'Patient has an allergy to cabbage. Patient likes to eat cabbage.' Nope, still CABG."
My colleague: "But to be fair, how often do you want to dictate cabbage?"
Me: "Watch. My next patient will have choked on a cabbage."
