More Adapt and Overcome

I am starting to feel like a 24 hour convenience store are hours are 7-11. Mosquitoes are out in full force. I started carrying a pair of tweezers in my pocket I figure that a man that can catch a mosquito with a pair of tweezers can do anything. The operating room or the theater is very interesting voltage stabilizers, step down transformers and 17 million power cords that spark and sizzle and none of it works, gas connections that do not hook up to anything, transport oxygen cylinders that weight more than I do.Things that work on 110 volts 220 volts and when things are connected to the wrong power source spark and smoke starts to fly. We have manage to create a small computer network and stream live video of the heart surgery from the operating room to several computer in different locations and quite frankly it better than anything we have at home. It has been a challenge to orchestrate all this stuff. In spite of all of this it has been rewarding even if what we do is just making a small dent in the grand scheme.
