This reminds me of a conversation I had in the staffroom recently. Two nurses had been talking about some dragon-breeding game they both played on Facebook. I stopped paying attention to the conversation for a bit, and when I zoned back in, they were talking about how annoying it was to have to "restart their sled." I asked if this was something in their dragon-breeding game. They both laughed for a solid thirty seconds before correcting me–it was a dialysis machine. Apparently 'SLED' stands for 'sustained low-efficiency dialysis'. They said it would make the world's worst game.

But a critical care medicine or critical care nursing video game might actually be quite fun and exciting, for people who aren't already doing that stuff all day...
