Nurse clip watch

Millions of people are left dead or disabled by surgical complications each year when one simple piece of kit could have saved them.

In the end, though, it doesn't matter which video sends you down the rabbit hole, even if it's one about actual rabbits . What's important is that you're romping in one of the most comforting and least cynical places on the internet, a place where charming tales of animals divert your attention from sobering headlines.
