Play of the Week this week goes to Dr. Paul McQuillen on a successful lumbar puncture for an ill neonate in the CNMC ED!

Also to Dr. Mckenzie Bowling for finishing third in her triathalon this weekend - even without being able to wear her wetsuit due to a hand injury! Also to Dr. Kaitlyn Yeh and Dr. Nicole Saporito for an efficient and effective work up of a MICC baby with distention and lack of stools, ultimately needing transfer to CNMC for further work up with possible Hirschsprungs.
