The Great Healthcare Pumpkin Carving Contest 2013

Surgical Scene by Rehab Services
Each year in October I see a spike in blog hits and can track most of them to people searching for ideas for pumpkin decorating contests in hospitals. They land on my blog because clearly I have the most oddly talented coworkers in the world. Here is a full surgery scene decorated by our Rehab Department. Check out the close up of the top surgeon pumpkin below with his aspirating syringe of pumpkin pie filling.

Glad to see the tradition upheld. I still remember fondly receiving my ribbon with the tag FLUNKY PUNKY attached to my carved entry for the first contest so very long ago.
