A Work Appreciation Post

We've had a few emergency cases the past week that have had to be attended by our colleagues who weren't the treating team, or the oncall team - who attended the cases didn't really matter, but two things really stood out to me. 

First that it really didn't matter who attended the patient; there was no hierarchy - there was no issue around who should have attended the patient in the first place, whose patient it was or which team the patient belonged to. It was all hands on deck, all hands ready to help.

Second was the fact that after every incident, thanks were given to the attending staff in our own medical officer group - while it may sound like something very trivial, it's nice to be working in an environment which is healthy and cooperative, and I personally feel that the small action is reflective of the appreciation that we generally have of each other. 

The people you work with make all the difference, and I'm glad to be working with my current colleagues - you guys know who you are.
