Snow day at the hospital

I appreciated this article from regular Well contributor Theresa Brown about a snow day at the hospital. People in Wisconsin are a hardy bunch, but every once in a while, the public schools get a snow day. And I watch my friends workplaces close that day, while my academic medical center always stays open. Admittedly, I am sometimes tempted to be crabby about this, because I'm not clinical staff. I mean, I'm a psychosocial researcher! What's the point in me trudging in?

But while the work I do is not the same as a nurse providing comfort, I see the importance in moving forward with our research, despite atmospheric forces.

Besides, that's what the county bus system is for.
