1000ml Saline. 0ml Patience. — Tumbler

1,000ml of saline. 0ml of patience. 20oz of cold brew.

The bag is hung. The patience is gone. The tumbler, however, is full. The 20oz that holds the only emotional resource you have left in this body — caffeine. The patient asked if the IV is "making them feel funny." It's saline. The tumbler is the only thing you've consumed in 6 hours.

What you're getting

• Size. 20oz stainless steel. Fits any standard cup holder. Fits the entire emotional capacity of a 12-hour shift.
• Insulation. Double-walled vacuum. Cold drinks 24+ hours. Hot drinks 12+ hours. Outlasts your shift, your patience, and the second admit at 1830.
• Material. BPA-free, food-grade stainless. Includes lid + straw. Built to be slammed, dropped, kicked into a Pyxis, and survived.
• Care. Hand-wash only — print stays sharp through years of break-room abuse, fluorescent-light gaslighting, and the "good morning team!" emails sent at 2247.
