New contest is up.

I purposely didn't fiddle with the photo because that is the way it looked in Fairbanks Alaska at that time of year and day. No wonder the designers put in a special lighting system to change the color balance of the light to improve the mental health of the staff and patients.

Thanks for choosing my image for First.

I'm going to ask @oblomow to take this next contest. I have some family issues to deal with - I'm not going to be able to give proper attention to this.

Thanks

Hope all works out well with the family issues. These things happen, all a part of life....

With my recent medical issues, and some POTD posts, when searching for a subject, "Medical" just stood out. I don't think we have had it in the past. Post something medical that has some meaning to you. It could be professional, like my military insignia as a medical officer, personal, as a patient, or anything medical related. The choice is yours.



Please remember that these standard rules apply:

• Do not comment, vote, react or click “like” on images prior to the winners being announced. In keeping with our most recent tradition, violators may be awarded first place. Henceforth this shall be known as the Molly-ing rule in honour of our friend and fellow perpetrator.
• The photographs must be your own work.
• This contest runs for one week. If in doubt, please check the title or description.
• At the end of the week, The Judge will choose a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place photo, providing as much feedback as possible.
• If the Judge is unable to complete the selection within 48 hours of the deadline, then last week's 2nd place has to step in. 3rd place takes over should 2nd place be similarly unable to officiate.
• The 1st place Winner will start a new thread with the topic/theme of their choice, and act as the Judge for that contest. (Winner has 48 hours to create a new theme, after that it defers to 2nd place).
• Be sure to update the Contest Master List as soon as you post a new theme.
• Contest ends on June 4th.

This reminded me of my last hospital job at Madigan Army Medical Center in Tacoma. I was project manager for a large nurse call network system. One day I got the elevator and this surgeon got on with me. Had his surgical gear on but was still wearing his fatigues and combat boots. I asked him why he was wearing his BDU's in surgery and he said all the military staff wore their uniforms while the country was at war (Afghanistan) to support the active duty troops there. It really choked me up at the time.

Something got messed up, I was replying to the photo of the military uniform.

As soon as I saw that photo from Stillcrazyman I immediately knew it was a potential No.1 winner.
Mine was posted almost as an afterthought and apart from laying out the articles in a somewhat orderly pattern plus adding my glasses I had no pretentions that it was anything other than a rapid 'snap'. So you could imagine my surprise in being given 3rd place - many thanks! In fact it was such a surprise I may now require some medication to calm me down.......

The star at the top means senior practitioner with years experience.

Thank you for your service!
