Navigating the world alone is not what nature intended. We walk down the isle flanked by our trusted friends. We get through pregnancy with a slew of baby support groups and books to reference. I recently had an epiphany with how to create a community for my patients to support them through their surgical experience and a light bulb when on! I am a member of all sorts of Facebook Groups which has been extremely helpful. I thought, why not offer my patients a group, which is completely secure and private, where they can support one another through surgery? Why not?
I named the group the Dr. Emily Hartmann's Surgical Tribe and all patients who sign up for surgery are invited. People can ask questions leading up to their surgery and receive advice from experienced surgical patients. I've also added resource files for people to reference and it's a great way to see questions based on surgery type and things you didn't even know you needed. It can be as basic as what kind of ice packs to buy but this can be so super helpful!
Other resources exist such as Realself.com which is helpful but somewhat overwhelming due to the shear quantity of posts and people on it. The facebook group is mostly local people who know the area and culture.
Of course this is entirely optional and social media isn't for everyone...but highly encouraged :)
In its more conventional forms, the Sea Wolf is far from a rare watch, with examples regularly available on the market. In this form, with the coveted rally style bezel, they're link seldom seen. What’s more, this might be the least link common of all the rally bezel pieces from the Sea Wolf collection. For every five pieces link I've encountered with the blue and white variation, I've likely seen just one with this red and black curiosity.
When it link comes to analog watches for aviation, IWC is probably the best-known brand link there is. Over the years, the Schaffhausen-based company has refined and honed its quintessential pilot's watch design, which link has become a cornerstone of the company's offerings.
A bit link of research indicates that Sansom worked for the company’s Canadian operation out link of my hometown of Toronto, which specialized in the distribution of link Kodak’s own cameras and consumer film products. I was lucky enough to even come across a newspaper clipping from Rochester’s Democrat And Chronicle, which commemorates Sansom’s completion of 40 years service at Kodak – along with the work of countless others – which would have been at the same time he was presented with the watch.
The IWC Portugieser is a very sleek sort of watch. Sometimes you wear things to be ostentatious, and sometimes you wear things that blend. The Portugieser is just elegant. It's probably one of my favorite formal attire watches. There's something link about it and a black tuxedo together. Now, if I'm wearing a more link fun sort of tuxedo or link suit, then I might flip it up. But when it's time for black on black, I like it.
In this 2015 link installment, Ben is joined by Eric Wind in what would be the first of many Reference link Points for link Eric. Together, they take on one of the most collectible and storied watches in the entire world, and one that was instrumental in humankind's travels beyond it, the Omega Speedmaster.
