I just stack plates on the bar. If they get it up, d/c. If they can't, admit for weakness. Only question the hospitalist gets to ask is if I've already talked to PT.

Nah, bro.
YEARS is hype.
PERC is for real. It's what our grandpas did.

(or something, this joke didn't really land)
Brah PERCs are what we should put in a big bowl in the waiting room, along with turkey sammiches, pregnancy tests, and work notes.

I ordered a dimer other day thinking of this very forum. I remembered @RustedFox raving about age weighted dimers and how they had changed his life with all the snowbirds in FL. So, I have this 92YOF, think about that thread for a sec...and fire off a dimer. I can't wait for that sucker to come back under 920....Comes back 980. I was admitting her for something else anyway and just chose to ignore it, hoping the hospitalist didn't ask me why I ordered a dimer on a 92YO. I don't think they noticed it either, so I kept my mouth shut.

Absolutely.
I have an autotext set up for this precise purpose.
These old fukks all have renal insufficiency anyways.

Just wait until this bad boy gets validated.
