At the other end of life from the NICU is the GICU, short for this.
"What is (the) geriatric intensive care unit?"...that's exactly it to make her the new leader to the tune of $9,400! At the end of Broadway, she's grabbed the final one of this semis at $10,200 & has a $1,600 lead over Pat; Catherine's downgraded to $3K. Mary Ann makes this answer worth its face value:
1927's "The Royal Family" was a comic portrayal of this American theatrical family of the day.
