In the midst of an all hell breaking loose shift where my admit rate was 65% I was reminded of why I chose this job. Middle age man carried in by his family unresponsive and looking like he was going to die came in. Found to be v tach. Shocked him. Woke up talking and thankful. Went to the cath lab for his stemi and had a 100% rca lesion stented. Family brought in cookies.... It's all about the cookies

Family went and got cookies the same day and brought them to you? Impressive
 
Home baked or that entenmann's store bought boxed stuff?! That'll truly determine just how thankful they were for you saving him ;) lol.
 
Doesn't matter. A coming-in-dying that you "fix" is a true save. Strong work.
Cookies are just the icing on the cake. But damn good icing!

I would hope store-bought. I wouldn't eat anything homemade brought in by a patient. Who knows about the cleanliness/sanitation of their home.

When I visit someone's house and they have cats jumping up all over countertops, I politely pass on any food/drink.

Funny that you mention this. My wife comes from a line of restaurant-owners/food-bev and knows a lot about food safety licensing, etc.

As it turns out, there are many states that have laws against commercially selling items prepared/manufactured in the home (that is, a non-commercially licensed kitchen), citing health concerns. So no, it might not be legal for you to mass produce and sell those cookies that are just so good.

Google: "Cottage Food Laws" if interested.
