What's in my white coat?

So rotations have officially taken my life; I've completed family medicine and surgery and just started in patient internal medicine. I'm learning lots and have little time, but today I was curious what, exactly, was in my white coat.

*Pocket Medicine
*Motorola Droid
*stethoscope
*two tuning forks
*lollipop
*pager
*list of important phone and pager numbers
*25 cents
*call room keys
*pocket handbook for the Maine Dartmouth family medicine residency for some reason
*three highlighters, only one of which works
*four pens, none of which I can find when I need them
*patient census form
*half completed progress notes
*yesterday's patient census form
*nametag
*Maxwell's
*Pharmacopia 2010
