Guest Post

I'm in the middle of a pile of nutrition assignments, so today I'm entertaining a guest post. This is a great little email sent to me yesterday by one of my former apprentices. Made me laugh...which means it made my day. Salamat! [to clarify the hospital inferences are in refrence to the government hospitals in Asia to which we would have to transport patients in an emergency]

Ive spent the past few days at appointments at the hospital I used to work at. I just got a job with them and had paperwork, physicals and stuff to do. While leaving today i was stuck with the feeling of somethings not righthere, something is diffrent.

no it wasnt that the hospital was clean, infactive been there three times this week and have yet to see blood on any wall,floor, or chair. Nor was it not one person asked me if i was a doctor and in fact responsible for any patients illness. it wasnt even the fact there was no one waiting at the door collecting money from patients as they came in.

No the thing that was missing was of all the people i spoke to wearing scrubs, not one of them was also wearing pearls. not one. i think thats your trademark.
