Plays of the Week:
Play of the week to Dr. Carr, Dr. Cooper, Dr. Rees, Dr. Simmons, NP Lipton, and Dr. Hepps for the excellent Pediatric Round Table at Morning Report last week. Really informative with tons of practical advice!
Play of the week and goodbye to Dr. Colin McNamara, who left us this week to start Dive School in anticipation for his UMO tour. Colin will be missed for his great demeanor, morning reports, and the special care and excellent bedside manner he gave his patients. A great physician and colleague, always ready to help put people at ease. We know you will do great things and continue to represent NCC Peds!

If you have a lot of overdue items and you are doing OCONUS or leave requiring commanders signature this could cause issues, but we’ll address that if it comes up.
