Our followers were planning to do a myriad of things on Valentine’s Day, well known as a day of celebration of romantic love, friendship, and admiration. Of those who responded to our poll about how they were going to spend the day, more, 41 percent, were not planning to do anything special. On the other hand, 24 percent said they were going out to dinner to mark the occasion, and 24 percent said they were planning to watch romantic movies. Twelve percent said they were planning to give their significant other everything from chocolates, flowers, and/or cards.
Last week, since a good number of O&P professionals were traveling to Nashville for the Academy symposium, we wanted to know what they planned to do for fun and enjoyment outside the conference—which was held at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center and an attraction in itself. Of those who responded to our poll, 43 percent said they were planning to navigate their way along Broadway Street with its host of bars, live music, and places to grab something yummy to eat; 29 percent said they planned to visit the Grand Ole Opry, which is a short walk from the Gaylord Hotel. (This writer went to a performance on Saturday night and would give the eventful evening five stars.) And 29 percent said they were planning to eat Nashville fried chicken (like this writer did and the spicier, the better). No one, however, said they were planning to visit museums.
This week we’re highlighting an article in the March issue of the magazine about the K-level system and how it affects patient care. We wanted to know if our followers think the system needs a facelift. So far, the majority believe the system does need some revisions. Tell us what you think. We’d love to hear from you.
