Another outing- Last night the department launched its Americas S
ervice class and we all got to go to GE's Research Park Facility where they have
a showroom of some Healthcare devices the company makes and sells. I am particularly fascinated with the Ultrasound machines and Baby warmers. I had no idea there were 4D ultrasounds now or blankets that there are baby blankets that can correct jaundice (which I suffered from) instead of having a baby live in an incubator for weeks. Unfortunately, the V-scan was not for show as it is in quite high demand. The V-scan is a handheld ultra sound the size of a cell phone. Imagine that! This week there is a woman here who's husband will be deployed to Afghanistan on Friday. He's a medic with the Green Beret's and he said having a V-scan would revolutionize Healthcare for the military, being able to see exactly what and where bleeding is happening etc...
Anywayyy, after the tour we stopped at an Irish pub and indulged in delicious snacks and a rendition of a long island iced tea, Southern peach sweet tea. Delish!
Sidenote: Another indicator of being in the midwest- a wild turkey roaming around outside work.
