[nagdu] Medical transportation.

[Lisa Belville]

Yep, it really depends on the hospital.  I've been in two hospital ICUs with 
my first two dogs.  No one really minded and the nurses were actually really 
interested and glad to see the dog.  I think it was a stress reliever for 
them as well as the people I was visiting.

A bus station is where the bus stops. A train station is where the train
stops.  On my desk I have a work station...
