Right when gossip was starting to undermine our surgical department, one of our nurses brought in a box of purple bracelets that read "A Complaint Free World.org." The premise of the bracelets is simple: If you catch yourself complaining, move the bracelet to your other wrist. If you hear someone else who is wearing a bracelet complain, you may point out her need to switch the bracelet to the other arm; but if you're going to do this, you must move your bracelet first.
