is about the work itself.

So today we are thinking about the perfusionist running a pump on a holiday weekend case. The ECMO specialist who stayed past shift change. The autotransfusion tech who saved a patient's own blood and kept a transfusion off the table. The coordinators, schedulers, and recruiters who made sure every one of those people was where they needed to be.

Thank you for the skill you bring to work every day. Have a safe and restful holiday.
