Here is a picture of the LONE rhododendron blossom from CVH's 40 or so bushes. Maintenance trimmed the bushes rather savagely last year for the workman to be able to set up their ladders and such to put on the new siding. I looked closely, there are lots of very tiny buds on the bushes but I don't think they will bloom this year.
This is our disaster tent. We used it today for our disaster drill. The scenario for us at the hospital was that we were in day five of an 9.8 earthquake of the Cascadia subduction zone and tsunami. We have no electricity, no water, no phones, and at this point severely over worked personnel. So whatta ya do? We had volunteer victims, we ran through the work book and discovered we could not get in contact with the Red Cross, we had a terrible time transferring three patients, bridges out, little access to I-5 corridor. My job was to jot down stuff as it happened and what happened to the patients. We debriefed, we ate pizza. Yay!!
Later today just as it neared 4 pm it became apparent that someone (what me!?) was needed to transcribe a 14 minute ER report stat for a transfer. Thank goodness we can fax faster than the ambulances can drive to Roseburg. It took me an hour to type the thing,then the doctor wanted to edit and I made corrections and then faxed the document. Oy! An hour sounds like a long time, the rule of thumb is take the length of time of the document and multiple by ten and that is how long, on average, it will take to transcribe the document....140 minutes!!?! Hmph not bad.
