Proceed at Your Own Risk: Celebrating Male Nurses on This Day!

Proceed at Your Own Risk
We love Proceed at Your Own Risk. And we thought we’d help pass the word along about today’s significance:

TODAY IN HISTORY
On this day in history, in the year 250 BC, the first nursing school in the world was started in India. Only men were considered “pure” enough to become nurses.
The Charaka (Vo. I, Section XV) states these men should be of “good behavior, distinguished for purity, possessed of cleverness and skill, imbued with kindness, skilled in every service a patient may require, competent to cook food, skilled in bathing and washing the patient, rubbing and massaging the limbs, lifting and assisting him to walk about, well skilled in making and cleansing beds, redying the patient and skillful in waiting upon one that is ailing and never unwilling to do anything that may be ordered.”
Today’s male nurses continue to exemplify this 2, 256 year old tradition.
Join me in singing their praise.

Nurses!

Typical Day at the QC Office

Typical Day at the QC Office
The QC Team is made to go through a myriad of gravity-defying exercises throughout the day in order to get some blood back to the head (the one at the top). The things we do to keep you happy. LOL. Hope you’re having fun so far!

Brad Says

One day after Brad Pitt said he would not marry Angelina Jolie until gay people are allowed to marry, millions of American men gave their girlfriends the same excuse.
