Folks are wandering around with their names and specialty on their scrubs ("Michael - Anesthesia). Looks to facilitate role definition rather nicely.

Our preparation is being noticed. Apparently others have not arrived with bags in the team's colors. Shirts help ID the team in a crowd.

Folks wandering around in shorts and flip flops. No bugs here to speak of.

Goodnight

Michael
