We take a lot of things seriously here at Sermo. Medicine is about saving lives and improving patient outcomes and our doctors are focused on that all day, every day. But, every once in a while they like to have a little fun and Halloween is a great excuse to ask our doctors a silly question and enjoy some medical humor.
