The "Arte Y Pico" My First Award!

Oh my gosh! My first blog award! Thank you Oystein of The Sterile Eye for choosing me to be honored with this award. And thank you for your compliment,

The blog of the Surgical First Assistant that calls herself makeminetrauma. To her “surgery junkie” is a compliment. Her love for anything surgical shines through in all of her posts. I envy her hands-on access to the human anatomy, and I love her blog.

Now I pass the award on to five other blogs. The rules are as follows:

1.You have to pick five blogs that you consider deserve this award in terms of creativity, design, interesting material, and general contributions to the blogger community, no matter what language.

2. Each award has to have the name of the author and also a link to his or her blog to be visited by everyone.

3. Each winner has to show the award and give the name and link to the blog that has given him or her the award itself.

4. Each winner and each giver of the prize has to show the link of “Arte y pico” blog, so everyone will know the origin of this award.

5. To show these rules.

Buckeye Surgeon. His posts are well written and always interesting with some great case presentations. He is very representative of the human side of medicine and his compassion for his patients is obvious.

Mother Jones, R.N. at Nurse Ratched's Place . I love her writing style and the nostalgic pictures she finds. Her captions and interpretations of the pictures are as entertaining as the posts themselves. She has a very clever sense of humor.

Bongi author of Other Things Amanzi. He is my hero of the blogosphere. His posts are an insight into another world that most of us will never experience. From the "sink or swim" style of surgical training to the roadblocks of dealing with the Government, his dedication to his country and his patients is unwavering. He truly loves his craft.

Addicted to Medblogs. Here is a loyal medblog addict. She is very creative. From her monthly (pretty close to monthly, as time allows) series Calander Doc, to all of the goofy cool stuff she finds to incorporate into her posts.

Someonetc at Orthopaedic Residency. He cleverly incorporates everyday challenges and situations as a mirror into the challenges of training ortho residents as their attending . He is constantly striving for more creative, motivating and successful methods of teaching.
