It’s Friday as we head into the weekend. Tomorrow I’m heading off to Seattle for the SHSMD 2018 conference. This is my first time attending the event, so we’ll see how it goes and report back later. If you live in the Seattle area, we have an open meetup for the Healthcare Scene community on Tuesday, Oct 9. Find all the details for the Seattle meetup here.
This is conference season, so the week after that I’m heading to Boston for the MEDITECH MD and CIO Forum and then the Connected Health Conference. There are a bunch of meetups planned, but I’m going to definitely be going to this SPM, #pinksocks, #hcldr meetup in Boston. Everyone is welcome, so if you’re in Boston, join us for some fun and good people (word on the street is that there will be a dance party after the meetup).
As always, you can see our full schedule of Healthcare Scene conferences and events. We can’t wait to see everyone in Seattle and Boston.
Ok, enough about travel. Time for some Fun Friday humor to get you ready for the weekend. This humor comes from @DocAroundthClok on Twitter. I think you’ll enjoy it.

This 2nd one seems particularly interesting after I just wrote about all the meetups in this post. If you’re like this doctor, then you should definitely join us at the meetups. No eye contact required. I’ll be surprised if the dance party doesn’t include the song Despacito.
Have a great weekend!
