Crocs are banned in a lot of hospitals because they won’t prevent a dropped needle from piercing though them.
Do you mean because of the holes? Hmm…. Maybe it’s time for an experiment. Test out a bunch of different shoes to see which ones would actually stop a needle. This might be fun — but costly…
I could see people being concerned about the holes because liquids could spill right in there…
Q:The Mr wears Birkenstock rubber clogs. Just replaces the insoles. The rubber is great because they are easier to clean after a messy surg case. But he says the same thing. Not about how they look. When you're on your feet for 12 hours +? It's about comfort! XO -- Hope your gramma is doing well!
Thanks! Grandma is doing well, I think. We are going to go see her in a few hours to bring my aunt some dinner.
Hmm.. I may have to look into these Birkenstocks… Although I must admit that it is hard for me to change once I find something that works. At least I don’t have to worry about going into a bloody OR as an Internal Medicine resident, right?

Crocs forever
While I do own Crocs, I have never worn them in the hospital. My footwear of choice are these Sanita Clogs. They are essentially identical to the ones made by Dansko.
While many may not like its aesthetics, these things are a godsend for my feet. What the salesperson said was true. It takes about two weeks to break it in. But once it is broken in, they are amazing!
Occasionally my feet might be sore at the end of the day, but within a few hours, when I am supposed to be back in the hospital, they are ready to go again.
They’re expensive, but they are worth it!

Those are nice. The ones you have are UGLY! Sometime you need to be uncomfortable for fashion sake
Listen, missy… when I get to hour 16, I couldn’t care less about fashion.

Audi releases their Superbowl ad early. A very bloody, vampire-inspired, ad featuring the new Audi S7.
Not bad, Audi. Not bad…
Thanks!
Thank you for all the well wishes, good thoughts, and positive vibes. Oh, and for the good juju and prayers too.
Grandma is out of surgery. She is up in one of the rooms. They say she’ll need to stay in the hospital for a few days. Its tough cause she doesn’t speak any English. Though, she does speak Mandarin and you’d think that that would be easy enough in Southern California. Mom and my aunt are taking turns staying at the hospital with her.
I guess now she just has to go through the road of physical therapy.
I’ll go see her later tonight with my parents.
I love this hat! It’s a “quick clava.” I don’t like the price though… $25 for a hat with a pull-down balaclava. (Taken with instagram)
Almost went for these. But no. I need shoes that I’ll survive in 16 hours later. Even if some people might call them ugly.
So this is grandma. She’s currently in surgery. It’s a total knee replacement. Not sure when this was taken. My uncle posted it on his Facebook page today. I believe it may be from last December when she was visiting family back in Indonesia. She is holding one of her great grandkids in this picture (my cousin’s kid).
Hopefully everything goes well. I’m sure she’s eager to go back to her morning routine of walking 2 miles a day.
GPOY with the little cousin. She says she is nervous about her winter formal tomorrow. (Taken with instagram)
