Merry Christmas, Kiwi style

Friday, December 25th, 2009

I had yesterday off, so I got to enjoy the first day of summer in New Zealand! Not missing the whole White Christmas thing at all!

Hope you enjoy this picture of a Pohutukawa tree— its magnificent red flowers bloom annually in December, hence it’s known as New Zealand’s Christmas tree.

Documentary “exactly what we live in the field, exactly the way we live it,” says locum tenens surgeon

Monday, December 21st, 2009

I attended the December 14th nationwide satellite screening of Living in Emergency, Stories of Doctors Without Borders, and the panel discussion that followed, and have to say, I was quite pleased with the result of the documentary. I’ve seen and experienced personally how reality can sometimes become twisted to a writer’s/producer’s/director’s own biases or emotions in order to have more mass appeal. Fortunately, it didn’t happen with this film. What I saw was exactly what we live in the field, and exactly the way we live it. The panel discussion helped to reaffirm those realities. Don’t miss the opportunity to see it if it screens in a theater near you and watch for the announcement in February of Academy Award® nominations for best documentary to see if it makes the cut!

Frequent flyers—act quickly to secure status match from Delta Airlines!

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

Continental Airlines left the SkyTeam Alliance, a global airline alliance, in October 2009. If you are a Continental Elite member, you will no longer earn bonus miles and Medallion Qualification Miles (MQMs) when flying Delta to your locum tenens or international locums assignments. But no worries! Delta has offered to match your Silver, Gold, or Platinum Continental Elite status in its SkyMiles program.

Once matched, you will receive special benefits such as:

  • Complimentary upgrades
  • Priority boarding and check-in
  • Waived baggage fees and other SkyTeam Elite or Elite Plus member benefits

Here’s how it works: Email, fax or phone your request by December 31, 2009 to receive matched status. Be sure to include your full name, SkyMiles number, Continental Elite status, and Elite OnePass membership number in your communication.

Your status will be matched within three business days and will be good through February 28, 2011.
