Dear nurse Dave,
Is it true that you are single-handedly responsible for the virtual disappearance of The Polyphonic Spree?
Grayson, Utah
Unfortunately my efforts to destroy the spree have been incomplete. They continue to wear robes and sing in great numbers. My efforts only limited their output from 2008 to the present. I think they're coming back and there's little I can do.

Attitude
Dear Nurse Dave,
As a nurse, is there any remedy you can suggest for recurrent bad attitude?
Melissa, Virginia
Bad attitude is a certainly a major problem but fortunately there are remedies that work. These remedies fall into a few major categories including: medication, watching someone with an even worse attitude fail and of course Feed Your Mind.
Medication - Sometimes if someone is going crazy at the hospital (i.e. taking clothes off and running down the hallway) they get a shot of Haldol. This doesn't always work but it certainly can. Many of my more naked patients have tolerated clothes after Haldol (this is a very good thing, in the hospital the patients least interested in clothes are usually the ones that need them the most). Medication for attitude doesn't end there. Antidepressants have done a lot of good for attitudes. Talk with your doctor about that.
Watching someone else with a worse attitude fail - I used to take angry kids on hikes. Something about watching an angry kid kick a rock in frustration and thereby cause even more pain to themselves can heal a bad attitude. What I'm saying is that watching someone hurt themselves is funny and that can heal your own bad attitude.
Feed your mind

Lockout
Dear Nurse Dave,
What can you tell me about the movie Lockout?
Benjamin, Houston, TX
I can tell you it takes place in the world's most secure prison. The prison is impenetrable because it is not on Earth. I can also tell you that the president's daughter is on the space station prison on a goodwill mission. I shouldn't have to tell you anything else you should probably already know the rest of the movie but I will tell you in the trailer there is this exchange:
There's only one man who can get her out.
Who?
Snow. He's the best there is but he's a loose cannon.
Finally I can tell you that I will be seeing the film in the theatre the sooner the better.
