hen bad weather
forces schools and
daycares to close,
our surgery center is also in dan-
ger of closing, because many of
our staff members have no one
to watch their children. A few
years ago, we began offering
free babysitting services at our
surgery center so our staff can
show up to work scheduled
cases. A couple times per year,
we gladly pay our clinical man-
ager's 18-year-old daughter $10
an hour to come in and babysit 5
or so kids in our employee
lounge. The kids usually bring
their electronic devices, and
we'll put cartoons on the TV and
make sure there's plenty of
crayons and coloring sheets. For the couple times a year when we do
this, it really pays off as a convenience and courtesy to surgeons and
patients.
