Editor’s Note:

I’m doing some perfusion traveling as I am taking my show on the road.  As such, every once in awhile I will be dropping a few notes and pictures of places visited, and observations made.  In a sense, the beginning of a scrap book on Open Heart Surgery in America (and other places if possible).

34 hospitals and counting (places I have put someone on CPB).

Enjoy 🙂

So when NOT in the operating room, whatever does one do?  The obvious comes to mind, make your surroundings- liveable for you (not to mention staying connected to the internet- because of countless forms and credentialling issues, banking, etc…), find places to eat, check out the local scenery, don’t get bored and spend too much $$$

Make friends with “The Hotel People”

Candle

1

Meet Zena & Kelly- 2 Very cool people doing an extraordinary job 🙂

In this case, find a hotel that fits your needs.  Candlewood Suites in Hot Springs Arkansas is a great place to stay.  The clerks at the front desk are your best friends.  If you are getting important mail, they get it to you.

2

If the room doesn’t work, they will get you a better one!  Or…  if you haven’t talked to another living breathing soul- they are there to chat with.  Money isn’t the only reason to choose a hotel- location is indeed EVERYTHING (2 minutes door to door to get to the OR to put someone on bypass for an emergency).
