<p class="MsoNormal">As you all know I turned 35 last year, had a baby, and have been falling apart ever since.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My wrist started hurting in January and was talking about it in front of an anesthesiologist in the ASC. He promptly escorted me to the OR suite next door where a hand surgeon was finishing a case. The hand surgeon did an exam, gave me
a diagnosis, and told me to wear a splint while waiting for my already-scheduled appointment with a “grown up” hand surgeon. Took 2 minutes.
<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">This week I have been feeling dizzy (flu? vertigo?) and this morning, walked over to ENT at 8:00, and promptly one of the ENT attendings was doing an exam and a maneuver on me and gave me a signed referral for a “grown up” ENT appointment
at OSU, though he thinks the dizziness could also be from neck muscle tension… Took 5 minutes.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am so grateful to be in the midst of a lot of wonderful, smart people here at NCH and I can only hope that we in Dentistry are as hospitable as others have been to me. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And don’t worry, Dr. McTigue -- this weekend the in-laws are in town, so, rest, yoga, and massage are all on the schedule!<o:p></o:p></p>
