FIRST DAY IN PIERRE PAYEN

Flexibility seems to be the word of the day. We started late, then had to wait for the bridge being out.
Then we had a flat tire. 

We got here about noon. With a little sunburn, had lunch, pasta and Cole slaw, toured the hospital and planned out the next day. Surgery patients had been pre-screened so it was smooth. There was a baby with a brow tumor so we got her to surgery already today along with a boy with a broken leg who fell out a tree. 
I had a chief resident help me. She did a great job helping close. We've got 2 anesthesia folks who work together in Omaha and make a good team. 
I saw every clinic patient in good time and had settled in for supper when 8 people were brought in from an accident. A bus full of people rolled, I guess. 
Several people died and were transported to 5 different medical centers. 
The shower didn't have much pressure, but was cool. It felt good. Goodnight.
