Behind Closed Doors

An Apple a Day

It takes a whole staff to make a fruit salad.

I'm amazed at how a day that began as picture-perfect as a shiny red apple can be stomped into applesauce by noon. But while the fruits of our labor sometimes go from ripe to rotten, the fruitful medley of personality traits and habits we work with in surgery makes up an interesting salad to be a part of. Maybe not every ingredient is to your liking, but without each it wouldn't be nearly as delicious.
