Plays of the Week:
Happy Memorial Day to everyone. Thank you to the Inpatient Ward and NICU teams that are covering this weekend. I hope everyone takes some time to relax, spend time with their loved ones, and reflect on the holiday. Especially in light of our recent trip to Arlington National Cemetery, thinking of the sacrifices of those others who have served and lost their lives.
Play of the week to the entire Peds Endo Department, who put together a team for the JDRF Walk!
Play of the week to Dr. Nicole Martin, who did an excellent job dropping an NG tube on her classmate, Dr. Kevin Westbrook during the GI Academic Half Day!
Shout out to Dr. Anna Casey, who celebrated her Resident-led Baby Shower at the Housestaff Meeting. Congratulations to you, Caston, and Charlie!

Resident-Faculty Kickball Game
Who: NCC Peds Staff vs. Residents. Fellows, medical students and rising PGY-1 welcome!
What: NCC Peds Annual Kickball Game
When: 0730-0900 18 June
Where: USU Softball Field
Why: Take part in a time-honored NCC Peds tradition. Back in 2017 when Dr. Patterson was a Major and Rob shared an intern desk with Dr. Arora, the residents and attendings took the field in a quarterly showdown to release pent-up frustrations that Reverse-Ed meetings couldn't quite placate. A tradition that was lost in the pandemic, but we're bringing it back! As per tradition, the resident team will wear bright colors and the attending team will wear black.
