July 4th is always a special day in that it
creates a national sense of unity. In so many ways, it is our country’s great
Red, White, and Blue get-together featuring barbecues, parades, bands and a true
sense of participation. It is
about us as a community and remembering those who made it all possible.
The brainchild of John Lupo, owner of Grandma’s Bakery,
brought together all the leadership of the White Bear Lake community from the
Mayor and Council to the local Chamber of Commerce. Everyone participated. Now
imagine trying to build a sundae that exceeds the length of three football
fields. This undertaking required precision planning, timely delivery to
prevent melting and hundreds of hands to scoop and top without any spaces in
this contiguous ice cream delight. What incredible teamwork.
Yes, a new record was established and White Bear Lake won.
But, frankly, that is not what was either important or most memorable. No, it
was the outpouring of support and participation from the entire White Bear Lake
community.
This was a coming together of all people – all races, ages,
nationalities, political persuasions. It was the total White Bear Lake
population defining for all of us the meaning of community. It was about what
“we” together can accomplish and what together we can give (thousands of
dollars raised for the fight against cancer). There were no egos, no shouts of
“I” but rather a meaningful sense of fun – the fun of togetherness held
together by mutual respect and gratitude for community.
Driving home, I could not help but reflect on this event and
then position it against Washington and our rather dysfunctional government. It
seems like they are incapable of doing anything together including just getting
along with each other.
Now imagine the White House declaring a day-off for all
involved in order to allow the President and Congress and their staffs to build
a sundae or some comparable project that will match that of White Bear Lake. I
am dead serious. More than anything else they would learn about teamwork; the
meaning of group accomplishment, and the value of “we” over “I”. They may even have a few laughs
together.
Why not?
I think this is my favorite blog you have written! What a wonderful thing. It brings a smile to my face, as I imagine the amazing challenge of creating a three football field length sundae. How does it not melt? How do they do that? How can they keep from tasting and licking??
ReplyDeleteI am going to pass along this great idea to the Washington and White House people I know in hopes it catches on.
Tomorrow night I will share in the community joy of Music in Plymouth. While it is not a Guinness World Record setting event I always leave so proud of all who make this festival possible and all who come to attend. It is a highlight of the year.
Thank you for sharing your insights so vividly that I can see it for myself.
Dear Governor;
ReplyDeleteI was the MC that night and met both you and your wife. We are so grateful you agreed to participate. Your posting is right on, as I stood there, next to you looking at 7000 people to come to a small town and experience "Americana" at its best and do some good at the same time.
I was proud of my City and especially proud of the relationship it has to it's citizens. Nothing red or blue, nothing conservative or liberal, just a community gathered together to DO something.
Thanks for being part of it!

"There is much more that goes into the treatment than just the infusion or shots themselves," Demehin, the association official, said, adding that many hospitals are facing severe staffing shortages.

"These treatments also require the right kinds of equipment, including infusion pumps, IV bags, seating areas for patients," he wrote to in an email. "You also need qualified staff to check patients in, deliver the infusions or shots, monitor for side effects, etc."

Demehin added that when patients with come in for antibodies, "hospitals have to take extra care to ensure they have spaces that minimize the chance of non-patients being exposed. Those spaces also need appropriate ventilation and the staff working with them need the right [personal protection equipment]."

The Mayo Clinic is doing 30 to 40 procedures per day at its main hospital in Rochester, Minnesota, and was doing 50 per day on some days when cases were surging in late September, said Dr. Raymund Razonable, an infectious disease expert who heads up the hospital's antibody program.

Mayo faced the same staff shortages and logistical barriers as other hospitals, but decided to make this happen when it saw the suffering of early https://www.aace777.com
ReplyDelete"My leadership saw it the way I see it, and made it possible, activating electronic health systems, activating the nursing pool, and pharmacy group to help make it a successful program, and it's worked from that day to this day," he said. "As long as you get the buy-in from leadership, it gets done."

Another step: educating physicians that monoclonal antibodies even exist."Not all physicians knew about this, and so that's been one of the initial hurdles," he said.

Razonable said when a Mayo patient tests positive for , they are screened to see if they meet the eligibility requirements for monoclonal antibodies, and if they do, the hospital reaches out to them.
