Medical Monday: Diathermy

Steno Style: The Perfect All-Black Carryall Bag

All Black CarryallI’ve searched far and wide for the perfect all-black carryall: Not too small, not too large, not too flashy, practical, a bunch of extra compartments and pockets, sturdily strapped, roomy enough for machine and extras; and I think, I finally found it.

The above-pictured Steve Madden bag seems to be perfect to tote machine, tripod, and all the accompanying reporter doodads. Today is my first day using it. Being that it will be “Steno In The Park” weather this week, I’m sure I’ll have a bunch of opportunities to see how durable it is.
