When you "sign on" to work in health care, you're most likely going to work some holidays. New Year's eve and day aren't exceptions. I admit, it feels strange to work when so many are partying, but then there's always next year. You arrive at the Xray department and it's just another day. For the patients, that's not the case at all. I've "xrayed" people in the first moments of their lives and the last. It's been the day of their daughter's wedding or even the bride in her wedding gown who slipped on the dance floor. It's been a child's first time skiing or a woman's last run down the slopes (by the way --it's always the last run down the slopes for that particular day!). More than once, I've taken a patient's xrays before, during and after surgery. There are many big days in a person's life and often someone from radiology has been there. For those taking the xrays, it's just another day. Or is it?

HEY TIM;
LOVE THE SITE! I HAD NO IDEA YOU WERE SUCH TERRIFIC ARTIST. I ESPECIALLY LIKE "DAWN AT SPRAGUE BROOK". I THINK YOUR ANALYSIS OF STUDENTS IN THE WORKPLACE IS PRETTY ACURATE AND THAT NO AMOUNT OF EXPLAINING AND WARNING WILL HUMBLE THEM UNTIL THEY MOVE ONTO THE NEXT ROTATION AND REALIZE THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO LEARN FROM OTHERS AND ABOUT THEMSELVES. KEEP SHARING, I THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT. KATHY G, MFG
