@DrAllyLouks My favorite pop culture/news story about smell: Zicam, a zinc-based nasal spray was touted as a cure for the common cold, until it caused 100s of people to lose their sense of smell. Turns out intranasal zinc was found to cause anosmia in the 1930s (Tisdall FF, J Pediatr 1938).
Hey @firstcitizens, I’ve been trying to close my late father’s accounts for the last two months. As executor of his estate I have called customer service >10 times, faxed and mailed his death certificate and letters of administration and still no response. Please help!
@mowwyjane Pro tip: Insert an 18G needle parallel to the barbed portion. The hole in the needle goes over the barb, covering it as you pull out needle and fish hook together. I've used it for years with good success.

@jminardi21 Nice video Joe. I like to change to the linear array for actual needle entry. Better resolution and at that point, you don’t need to visualize the entire heart.
