Roller Coasters, Car Keys and the Use of the Matcher System at Dominion Fertility.

Posted on 08:27 by Unknown
I am really not a roller coaster aficionado. In fact, I sometimes have a tough time with elevators that drop too fast....So when I recently found myself in line for Expedition Everest at Animal Kingdom in Disney World, I wasn't too thrilled. But I hung in there and through the magic of SmartPass I was able to negotiate the line without enough time to change my mind. I survived. Barely. Needless to say, I was not rushing over to one of the vendors after exiting the ride to purchase a roasted turkey leg (bleah).

I almost had that same look of terror on my face in our hotel room at midnight on our last night on vacation. It was at that time that I became convinced that I had somehow lost the keys to our minivan that was parked at the Charlotte airport back in North Carolina. At age 50, after countless vacations and business trips, this was a first. I never found the keys but fortunately my wife had brought a spare set and so disaster was averted. I have no idea where the keys went. I called Disney, both airports, the car service and no luck. Gone. Disapparated. Zip. Nadda. My best guess is that they ended up in the hotel room trash can. Oh well. Through the magic of the internet I was able to order a replacement key fob with remote for $60 and reprogram the thing myself using a YouTube video. Gotta love technology. Still, I wish I knew how I managed to do such a boneheaded thing as lose my car keys on vacation. You can bet that from now on I will be using that little key hook that is in the inside pocket of my suitcase....

Sometimes it takes a near miss to make you reevaluate something as simple as using the key keeper on you luggage, but it would be so much smarter to use the key keeper every time right from start. Here at Dominion Fertility we believe that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure and that is why we are now the first clinic in the United States to use a patient identification system known as the Matcher System from IMT International. This system allows for precise patient identification and linking of eggs, sperm and embryos so as to prevent the possibility of error. We firmly believe that use of such a system is in everyone's best interest as a mix-up in eggs, sperm or embryos would have catastrophic implications for all involved. So all I can say is that I am glad that we are using the Matcher System and I sure as heck will now use that darn key hook on every trip in the future!
