In the Beginning

    Business First then let the dogs out!!!
    The focus of this blog is to restore and replenish us so if you need to share some negative energy that is fine to do occasionally. Please try to balance it with lots of positive uplifting experiences as well. If you don't have that many in your work maybe you will learn here how to make your job easier and more fun. That is our intention when we created this blog on this wonderful Thanksgiving Day. We realized how much we have to be thankful for (inspite of the fact we have had some serious medical problems ourselves to deal with over the last 5-7 years). To quote a friend of ours who always says "I never saw anything that didn't get better." Don't analyse it to much just take it on face value!!!!
    This blog has been created to give anyone with unusual, funny ,witty, crazy, insane stories or events surrounding their experience as a member of the 'Health Care Provider Community' a chance to share them with others. We welcome anyone to join in with their stories and experiences. You can also share your frustrations about the area you work in but primarily this blog is intended to uplift us with levity and all the insane experiences we have been a part of while caring for patients and their families. I myself have been a Family Physician and part time Emergency Room Doc for 25 years. My wife is a Respiratory Therapist of 10 years so we both have plenty of our own experiences we will be adding as well.
     You are also welcome to add anything you have learned that might make someone else's job easier, more productive or more fun. Working in the field of medicine can be very draining physically and emotionally and this blog is here to help prop each other up in some small way so we know we are not alone. Sharing your experiences and feelings in a setting such as this can be very cathartic (make you feel relieved!).
     We do demand that all posts respect the confidentiality of patients, their families, coworkers and yourself. Do not include any information that could be linked to an actual person, place or time please. This is intended to protect you primarily as you are the one who would be held responsible for breaking that trust.
     We hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day even if you are working. Remember at least it is not you in the hospital, nursing home or emergency room! It could always be worse!!!! Looking forward to hearing from all of you soon.
