Blogpost 7: Taking Care of Business ⚡ Home of the Blues - Memphis, Tennessee. Hosted by Campbell Clinic Orthopaedics and Campbell Clinic Foundation. #ABC2024 Making memories in Memphis: we were greeted by Jennifer Lowrey and Margaret Knack with gifts and smiles at the airport and a thankfully air-conditioned ride to the Peabody Hotels and Resorts. Dr Derek Kelly was waiting at the hotel and introduced us to the famous ducks in the fountain of the lobby. Dinner and music followed at BB King's Blues Club. A morning of sight seeing at the Mississippi River, taking advantage of the view from the riverside pyramid Bass Pro Shops, followed by a visit to the Campbell Clinic Orthopaedics to learn about the differences between our health care systems from Daniel Shumate. We listened to the rich history of the ABC tour in Memphis and the huge contribution the Campbell Clinic Orthopaedics and Campbell Clinic Foundation have made to the tour. Jonathan Stevenson gave a talk on the history of the The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. After break out sessions with our sub-specialty colleagues, we were hosted at William Mihalko and family for further academic discussions. Day 2: We attended trauma rounds at Regional One Health chaired by Matt Rudloff, followed by an art tour of Le Bonheur Children's Hospital and the new intensive care facility for level one paediatric trauma covering Tenessee and adjacent states. Next stop was a tour of Graceland, home to Elvis Presley and family. Lastly we were hosted at the new Campbell clinic facility in central Memphis for academic lectures by the ABC fellows to faculty and residents after being introduced to ex-ABC James Beaty, regaling us with stories of his eight week 1991 ABC tour of the UK, Australia & New Zealand. After a refreshing night of Memphis blues we headed to the airport for our trip to Denver Colorado. Memphis truly taught us the definition of "Southern Hospitality" and in the words of the King, we "can't help falling in love with you" Memphis!
