Tomorrow the remnants of Hurricane Debby will pass through the Carolinas. It has already started in some places. Much rain, much flooding. We are expected to get up to 7 inches of rain.
On top of the good soaking, we got over the past two weeks.
I mean we were in a drought in July, But we got a couple of hundred percentage of normal rain fall in the last 30 days. This is roughly 4 inches of rain. Or more.
Meteorology is not exactly an exact science.
The microclimates around here are fascinating. Because some parts of the county are considered dry.
Go figure.
But back to the best kept secrets of the OR.
PATIENTS ALWAYS SHOW UP FOR THEIR SURGERY DATE!
No matter the weather conditions.
Rain.
Hail.
Snow.
Hurricane.
Flood.
They always show up.
Which means you are expected to show up too.
Sometimes hospitals will send a car. But don’t get used to that.
There are no snow days in the OR.
Or hurricane days.
But be safe out there.
