7. "Sounds lovely as your work environment."

It was quite lovely. An uncommonly pretty site for a hospital and complex of medical office buildings - lots of green space, loads of tall trees, and a manmade pond with fountains and cattails that was populated with swans every summer. Some organization supplied a mated pair of swans every season, who would produce offspring that we could watch mature. There is a paved walking path around the pond. Our practice was so busy that I usually didn't have time for a walk during lunch because I was always trying to get my morning charting done before our afternoon started, but I did enjoy it when the rare opportunity presented itself.

If you are curious enough, look for Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington IL on line and you can find some images.

I felt very fortunate to be in such pretty surroundings.
