Resident Appreciation Day falls in March with most programs saying thank you with a small token such a a gift card to Starbucks. This year we decided to turn it into a whole week of appreciation. Luckily I have two creative and artistic daughters who loved helping out. While I was on service, they created a poster with velcro signs indicating which "treat" was for which day. We snuck in on a Sunday evening and also decorated the resident work room a bit.
For one of the days we make rice krispie treats with any combination of milk, white, and dark chocolate. My job was to supply the melted chocolate while Izzy's was to drizzle and dunk them into it. True to Victoria's personality, she added the sprinkles for a bit of sparkle.
Light up toys are always high in demand for pediatric neurologists, especially those that don't make noises. Why? It helps us examine eye movements as the kids will watch the toy. If the toy makes sound, they can track it by listening which gives you an unreliable exam.
Brainy vinyl stickers with clever neurology sayings!
The final day was a gift of Stoggles. These are more fashionable protective eye wear. We are still required to wear eye protection when seeing patients. But these can be used moving forward as any procedure like Botox injections requires it's usage.
