The drive to Tyler yesterday was fairly uneventful. Lisa and I are sharing a cabin while the others get cabins to themselves. On top of that, the UTHSC-Tyler is located on the outskirts of Tyler and literally in the middle of nowhere. It takes 15 minutes to actually drive into the town to get to the nearest grocery store or Chick-fil-A, as well as the UT-Tyler undergraduate campus. We're allowed to join the gym there for $25 so Lisa and I went there to get passes as an incentive to work out during our stay here.
Today was mostly orientation, as we learned MediTech (which was the same EMR used at Methodist so we've all seen it before) and toured the hospital. We also got a respiratory FIT test to make sure our "duckbill" masks were securely over our faces before we could see TB patients later on. They do this by making us wear a hood over our heads and then spraying saccharine into the hood, and if we taste the saccharine, we needed to start over. I tasted saccharine after one squirt. Kate and Amber lasted a bit longer, and Lisa made it all the way to the "walk in place" step before she tasted it. The tester lamented that this was the first time he had four people fail (Danny was late), but the second time around we all passed. After orientation, Jen came over to around dinnertime. Longview's not too far from Tyler so that made the visit possible.

Three of us failed the first time, and we just lied the second time.
