What I Like about VIN

• I like the feeling I get when spending time on VIN. It is euphoric to learn something new, to share and support colleagues in professional and personal successes and tribulations, and to access information to better care for my patients 24/7. I really miss it when I'm unable to log on (addiction?) :)
