What a wild week it has been here and the CSPS hopes that you all are staying safe and healthy during these very uncertain times. From the Pandemic to the raging wildfires here in California, it is important that we all look out for one another. Case in point, look who crept into the CSPS Executive Office seeking refuge from the smokey atmosphere!!! After being carefully caught with a blanket, Mr. Opossum was placed back outside with some cool water and food. Take care all!! #csps #californiaplasticsurgeons #californiaplasticsurgeon #californiaplasticsurgery #opossum #staysafe #bekind
