Hello and welcome to this edition of Grand Rounds!

We just can’t seem to shake the winter gloom up in my neck of the woods. Today (two days ago as it were) was quiet as work goes. Bad for us, but as my friend reminds me when I complain about slow days—it is good for those who aren’t so sick or injured that they [...]

Me savoring the view
Flying keeps [...]

Today definitely bordered on Bill Murray’s version of Groundhog Day.
Remember the movie?
Well, after digging out my piles . . .

We had a change of shift pediatric flight just after kick off. Have to say—would rather go flying with Jess and Walt—-the commercials will be on YouTube. The city was just amazing to look over tonight. Wish this photo of Jess was a bit more clear….
As I sat down to lay out this edition of Change of Shift, I realized how many first timers took the plunge and decided to submit blog posts. That in itself is very exciting. A few I corresponded with, giving words of encouragement and even went out and got a video blog post from another [...]
