ok, harvey you got my attention.  i understood & nodded my
          weary head while reading each item on your list, "yep, that
          makes sense..." and then i come across the IV pole.  you
          must tell the story.  i have visions of hunter thompson
          dragging his pole around the hospital room sipping on the
          bottle of "jack" taped to it.  we wanna know what the IV
          pole is for!!!    ray
