1. Scrubs that fit. Tall girls get really tired of having cold ankles and looking like Steve Urkel.

2. Sales reps who follow up after they sell you thousands of dollars' worth of equipment. Maybe even showing up to in-service us on how the thing works. Or at least assisting us in getting it serviced three months down the road when it breaks.

4. To be able to put in a Foley without needing spelunking headgear. On some patients, it takes two of us - one to keep the thighs out of the way and the other to take a blind shot as to where the catheter might go.
