'''Lent''' is a six-week period in the Christian calendar, starting with Ash Wednesday and ending on Easter Sunday, where followers seek forgiveness form their sins by giving up something as a form of penance. In health care, it is not uncommon for different health care professionals from different specialties to give something in recognition of Lent.<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2017/03/what-are-health-care-providers-giving-up-for-lent/ What Are Health Care Professionals Giving Up for Lent (By Specialty)?]</ref> Whereas hospitalists may give up [[Placement|placement ]] and emergency medicine personnel may give up [http://gomerblog.com/2014/12/hospital-policy-dilaudid/ Dilaudid], urologists may give up [[Ping Pong Balls|penises ]] while pediatricians give up [http://gomerblog.com/2016/01/finally-a-clinic-run-by-parents-whove-done-their-research-opens/ parents].
