The experts advise sleeping at lower altitudes, going up high during the day, and then returning to the lower altitude. In retrospect, I should… Continue reading Altitude Sickness
June 2010 Ever since I rafted through the Grand Canyon in 1993, I have wanted to see it again from the rim and the comfort of a hotel with hot showers, flush toilets, and a real bed. (See the previous post.) I was invited to visit dear friends who live in Utah near Bryce and… Continue reading The Grand Canyon – From the Top – Part 2

One doctor told her father, "Some of the nursing is done by drunken prostitutes who were given the option in the police… Continue reading Happy Birthday, Florence Nightingale – May 12
January 1987 Since the nursing shortage continues to grow, the leadership of the large hospital where I work had a brainstorming session last fall.

1986 - Hong Kong We had a pleasant stay in hot steamy Hong Kong, and experienced reverse culture shock compared to China. Hong Kong is fast-paced with a British flavor. The 100-year treaty with Britain will expire in 1997, so many wealthy and professional people are leaving because they don't want to live under the… Continue reading Nursing Tour of China – Part 5
