TGIF Meeting hijack

I usually don't have a lot of meetings at the end of the week, but this week was unusual.

One meeting was short and sweet. The doc took notes, assigned the tasks, and away it went. Elapsed time: 20 minutes.

The next one, the token MD at our other hospital, Washington, decided to hijack a pressure ulcer prevention meeting by talking about getting all of our patients these items and getting "some good publicity finally." in the local media.

Ahem, the dander was standing on my neck. The dander was standing up on almost everyone else's neck. I told the doc (since I was only a meeting interloper anyway), "It may not be appropriate for everyone. Come on down to Madison. We can show you this exoskeleton in person (assuming one of our patients is in a trial)."

What I really wanted to say (and everyone else did, too, but didn't) was STFU. Hijacking the meeting for purposes other than what you're supposed to be there for is decidedly rude.

Happily, I did get to escape for a bit. Bubba had one of these ceremonies today at school.  I just wish I could have stayed for the cookies afterward.

TGIF all! Enjoy your weekend (long for some of you) wherever you are.
