Hanging out with the docs

The other day my running parter Ryan and I went out for a run. We decided to do the track next to the hospital. After a couple of laps we saw one of the family medicine doctors that we knew setting up cones on the field. Then he asked us to join them in their ultimate frisbee game: family medicine staff (browns) vs family medicine residents (greys).

So Ryan and I as nurses got to play with the family medicine team. And was it a lot of fun!

I've worked with the family medicine team on the medicine floor for about a year before I moved to the surgical ward. Seeing everyone again felt like a reunion. We talked about who has left, who's coming in, and who's holding the pager while the team is out playing ultimate frisbee.

I wish we got to do this more often with the staff members that we work with. Sometimes you need a change of environment to get to know someone better.

Thanks to CPT Harris for taking and sending out this photo. I'm the tallest one. =P

P.S. Browns won the game with Ryan and I. Greys said they're going to start recruiting nurses on their team next time.

I'm sorry/Thank you!

I'm sorry:

I apologize for not updating as much lately. It's been really really busy on the surgical ward the past couple of weeks and I've been venting in other ways than on this blog. I will get back into posting more things from Texas from the Joint Forces Combat Trauma Management Course from 01NOV to 05NOV2010.

Thank you!:

Thank you to all the kind emails, messages, and comments that were given electronically and in person! I'm glad this little blog was intentionally meant to update my family and friends back home, but now has grown into a much larger audience. Thank you for your words of encouragement. The coolest thing is meeting you (the reader of this blog) in person!

Well time to sleep for another weekend at the hospital. Enjoy your weekend!

My name is

Thanks to the nurse who transfered me a patient today to the surgical ward.
