On Stage

Some managers at work went to a business conference at Disney World a couple of years ago. They brought back a concept of "on stage" versus "back stage." My usual role at the hospital is pretty "back stage" since patients are not typically aware of much of my activities. But my recent roll as a patient has put me squarely "on stage."

Margaret dropped me off "on stage" this morning for a follow-up appointment with my orthopedic surgeon. I had time afterwards to visit various departments and catch up on the latest news from work. While I waited for Margaret to drive up to the door I noticed a little dog walking on top of red car. She was accompanying another "on stage" performer (i.e. patient/visitor) and I tried (but failed) to get her picture on top of the car. Here's the one I did get, though. Pretty cute.
