OK so I designed this thing out of LEGO bricks and now I'm selling it to my fellow anesthesiologists. 840 pieces of pure happiness, along with a 157 page instruction booklet and custom stickers. Part of the proceeds goes to support @CAS_IEF shop.fxbricks.com/products/a…

I am listening to a conference and I am continually floored ( but not really surprised) by how male physicians continue to address female physician speakers by their first name and male speakers by Dr. C’mon!!

Thoughtful and eye opening lecture from Dr Tania Di Renna on approaching the chronic pain patient. Starting preoperatively with identification of risk factors, education, CBT & approaching chronic pain as a disease like any other more traditional disease @ON_Anesthesia #OAM2019

Surprising findings from Dr Deepa Kattall on the opioid crisis in pediatric patients, supracondylar fractures are second in this group for persistent postoperative opioid use!! . #OAM2019 @ON_Anesthesia
Dr Ellen Soffin reminds us that the US Surgeon General is an Anesthesiologist and has made the opioid crisis one of the highest priorities for immediate and pressing need of action . #OAM2019 @ON_Anesthesia @Surgeon_General

Dr Ellen Soffin, key note lecture on the opioid epidemic. 6% of new cases of persistent opioid use come from the “prescription opioid crisis” and is the most “common” Complication of surgery! #OAM2019 @ON_Anesthesia

Dr Eric You-Tan. Do not get sucked into the vortex during difficult airway management. Keep out of the centre with Communication, team work, skilled personal. @ON_Anesthesia #OAM2019
Dr Eric You-Tan excellent talk on why Laryngoscopy fails. Highliting the inverse relationship of SpO2 and OUR HR. As HR increases so does loss of fine motor skills.!! Make sure we use predictors and adjuncts to ease our own physiologic stress! #OAM2019 @ON_Anesthesia
