    Links and Show Notes

    On top of all the sheltering-in-place, John is nursing a new injury, and Merlin doesn't love hearing it described at all. This leads to some medical technology discussion plus an on-air debriding agent demo.

    History and experience can be pretty good teachers, but working yourself to a damaged nub is a terrible game for the young and should be considered harmful.

    And, then there's the technology we use to stay connected and the managers who need to manage. Were you aware that Tom totally knows Craig Chaquico?

    Listen, team, there are going to be a lot of adjustments, but also some great opportunities. We swear.

    Hang in there, stay inside, and please take care of yourselves.
