Finally a real blog, you lazy bastard...

Ok here I are. Our internet is up and down and slow and blah blah blah. We now have the option of buying private internet, which I did. It is supposed to be superfast, which it is not. But it is up more than it is down unlike Dyncorp's.
Yesterday we had PPE (personal protective equipment) inspection, so we all gathered with our flak jackets and helmets on. We looked like a retarded motorcycle gang. I took my helmet in to get a screw fixed and they gave me a new, worse helmet. That gave me a headache. Must weigh 50 pounds. Better than getting smacked in the noggin with shrapnel.

Scary biker dude

Last Friday I went to the medical conference on base. I learned lots of stuff, besides all the creepy crawly things in Afghanistan that can kill you. There was a talk by an Army Colonel about improving communication and decreasing medial errors in Army Role 1 clinics. So I think I will try it a KAF. I started doing it and freaked out management. I started to tell them and they said,"it's your clinic do what you want." So I did. Mangorial panic ensued, now they want to see it, evaluate it, and then try it. Too late, I'm doing it. This is what the lecture was all about.  Don't get bogged down in bureaucracy. Communicate and make sure that everyone knows their role for the day.
We are getting two Doctors here today. Not sure what to do with them. We are out of room in the clinic. Don't have anything for them to do. Don't have an office for them. But other than that, rock on.
We are reorganizing. Nothing puts fear in a corporate heart like a reorg. I thought I would get away from that stuff. But noooooooooooooooo. I will still have a job, will be at KAF but other than that, who knows. Stay tuned. We get information in tricks and trickles which is very discouraging. But I  live one day at a time. Only way to make it here. Spent all day yesterday trying to get a guy with a bad kidney stone on a flight to Dubai. Only took 7 hours. Just another day at KAF.
