to a child, it's a torture device. to me, it's a godsend. it's the papoose board. basically, when you have a procedure (eg, repair of a laceration) to do on a child, you strap the kid to this device, and they can't move a muscle. the cartoon pretty much illustrates how this works.
if you don't read the comments on this blog, officer kitty dropped a fascinating story on marathons. i've come down with a cold, and my training has really suffered (ie, non existent) for the past few days. but i've also let go of qualifying for boston at this race. i would like to run boston some day, but it doesn't have to be this year. i just want to enjoy running for now.
in other news, i visited the family medicine center today to keep up some contacts there. i love family docs. i love emergency medicine and working in the ED, but i will always be a family doc at heart. hopefully, i'll find a way to stay involved in the department in the coming years.

Gotta love the borderline cultural insensitivity of the Papoose Board logo. Makes you wonder why they didn't go all the way and put a lil red baby in the papoose instead.
I've never even seen one of those papoose boards. We just do a ghetto version....it involves a pillowcase and a sheet. But it still works pretty well.
