Summary: What about pop-tops for dialysis?


How about the idea of collecting tabs off coke cans to trade for time on
kidney dialysis machines?  This one keeps coming around, and I have no
idea whether it's legitimate or not, but it sure sounds pretty stupid.
Throw away the aluminum can, we just want the pop top?  Maybe a study
of "urban hoaxes" isn't a bad idea--who starts these things and why?
