I was so proud of all my people. I have brand new docs in the ER and new surgeons. I got to watch my new guys in action in the ER and they were outstanding. Very calm, very collected. Then I followed several patients to the OR where I watched my surgeons calmly go to work. One guy had 3 specialists working on him at the same time. When one of the ortho docs had to go, I offered to take his place (he was doing some minor debriding- that's cleaning out a wound) and he said OK! So I got to do a bit of surgery and interact with my new surgeons on their own turf. I like surgeons. it's like herding feral cats, but they don;t do anything just because someone says so. You've got to have a good reason. And even then they don;t always want to get with the program. They remind me of myself, except that now I sort of have to get with the program. but I digress...
My airmen were thinking for themselves- problem solving quickly and coming up with solutions to issues. No one felt like they had to run everything past me before they could make a decision. I love that they know their jobs so well that they just do them and problem solve creative solutions along the way without my input.
I was also very glad that the bad guys let us sleep last night! I'm sure they have more planned as things have been relatively quiet here for awhile and I think maybe they were saving their stuff up. Security is tighter of course, and there are some things we can;t do that we did before. My running will be a bit inhibited for awhile since my route ran past the past the perimeter fence. Maybe not a good idea for a little while.
This is one of the most accurate news articles:
