twenty-five things...

Life in Portland has been pretty quiet these past few weeks.  The hospital went "live" with their computer charting (which is the reason why I am here). I must say it went fairly flawless, they were very diligent about getting their staff educated and experienced with the new computer system and it made a huge difference.  I can also tell a difference in the staff's attitudes, the must have been really stressed about EPIC because they are so much nicer now that the "go live" has commenced!  I had a nice stretch of days off, unfortunately I came down with norovirus, so I spent all my time off on my couch and in my bed. It was not pleasant, but not nearly as bad as my patients act when they come to the emergency room.  Since I do not have any pictures or sightseeing adventures to post about, I thought I would do a "get to know me" blog.  Here is a list of 25 things you might not know about me!!
