On the Job

Hubby Doc has been in the clinic for several days now, and just finished a weekend on call. So far, so good. The clinic, hospital, lab, and extended elder care are all under one roof, so it's all yours, when on duty. He's impressed with the staff. Nurses and support staff have been great and he appreciates all the good help. There are no surgeons or specialists on the island, so anything that needs extra attention, goes to Seattle. So until a plane can get in to do that, you are IT!
The island has 3,300 people and a large tourist crowd in the summer, so the medical center can be quite active. They usually have three or four full time Docs and bring in locums as needed. We hope to come back sometime. We love the area.

  1. Just read your whole blog on Petersburg Is. That must be a fantastic trip. You mentioned that you attended a health fair and had a BMI. I didn't know that they did bowel movements at health fairs. Oh well what do I know.
