This is a far cry from William Wegman’s puppies.
Think my dog Lucy (didn’t name her, my mom did) is doing her best with the world domination thing. If nothing else she HAS won over Patrick…which is a feat I thought impossible.
All things happen in cycles. Unfortunately, I am currently in the “White Cloud” part of my work cycle. That means, dear readers, that I have been the anti-flight nurse. Ground response via mini-van? Yeah, have done 3. My last patient flight was almost a month ago. Blame it on bad [...]
I can tell how much time I have spent at the hangar by how unorganized my life becomes. It is all I can do to ensure the laundry is done, there is food in the fridge and my truck is not trashed. In the past, one by one, these things [...]
Today, Mike posted this video about social media burnout on his blog Family Medicine Rocks. After discussion with Mike about rebranding, I thought this would be the perfect time to address both, once again, via video. So Mike? Tag! You are it!
Working night shift wears me out. We do a lot of “swing shifts” from days (7a-7p) to mids (10a-10p) to nights (7p-7a). Fortunately, in-house rules exist as to how we structure our schedule but I still struggle with those damn nights. Anyone else out there have issues with swinging from [...]

“The Impact of Alcohol on Trauma” On 24 March I am speaking at the Michigan Trauma Symposium in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Every year, the symposium rotates between the three major cities/trauma centers in West Michigan: Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, and Lansing. A few months ago, our trauma coordinator called the hangar [...]
I must, on an almost hourly basis (or even more frequently!), remind myself that planning my work day is neigh unto impossible. Not only is it impossible, but even after starting on a project or task that being interrupted too many times to count is to be expected. Take for [...]
So many times when flying a very ill or injured patient, finding the alcohol swabs is monumentally difficult. As with everything else we do, how incredible when we are able to remove steps from a simple, but essential process. Hmmm, but what I really wonder about is the cost. And [...]
While doing a clinical rotation in OB last week, which is required for my position annually, I was bordering on a minor anxiety attack. For the first time in a very long time, I was without my cell phone. Today, while working on all of my social media accounts, surfing [...]
