Who's the Best Santa? A Look at Holiday Helpers

When the holiday season rolls around, hospitals often bring in Santa Claus to spread cheer. But have you ever wondered who gets to play Santa? It turns out, there's a bit of a mystery around how this decision is made.

The Assumption

Some say surgical specialists are the go-to Santas.

Why?

• People assume they have a strong grip, which is important for carrying that heavy sack of gifts.

But is grip strength really the key factor?

Re-evaluating the Criteria

Being Santa isn't just about strength. It's also about:

• Patience
• Kindness
• Making kids feel special

So, maybe we should be looking at more than just who has the strongest grip.

The Flaws in the System

• Not all surgical specialists have the best people skills.
• Not all other specialists are weak.

So, maybe it's time to rethink who gets to play Santa.

The Big Question

What do you think?

Should hospitals focus on more than just grip strength when choosing their Santa?

Maybe it's time for a change.
