Well worth a read for all my Regional folks!

Adolph Hitler would not allow German citizens to receive the Nobel Prize. So he created his own prize: The German National Prize for the Arts and Science. One recipient of this prize (in 1937) was August Bier who was the first to describe spinal anesthesia (125 years ago).

The polar opposites of my musical experience this week: from Queens of the Stone Age to ABBA Revisited! Don’t worry Josh, yours was definitely the best concert! #queensofthestoneage #qotsa #rock #abbarevisited #europop #tributeband

Blackthorne: “I’m going to put you in an unconscious, analgesic, and amnestic state, closely monitor and maintain your hemodynamics and respiration while they perform surgery without you noticing, and have you emerge safely afterwards.”

Mariko: “The Anjin says you’ll be asleep”

So it turns out people are super interested about nerve blocks in space.

Who would’ve thought? 🤷🏻‍♂️

I was excited and honored to share what we’re doing. And hopefully make one small piece of anesthesia more understandable to the public.

DalAnesthesia resident Dr. Sarah Tremaine @sarahtremaine1 points out that educational (via grand rounds)…

Is not enough to bring about behaviour change

Despite education, volatile flow rates were similar pre/post GRs

However, not adjusted for case length.

Happy 197th Birthday to the father of antiseptic surgery, Joseph Lister 🥳
His pioneering work on antiseptic surgery began at Glasgow Royal Infirmary where he used carbolic acid for the first time. His principles and practice revolutionised surgery and has saved countless lives

Really simple, and in my opinion the perfect example of an Info-graphic!

Well done Chris & James from GSTT Anaesthesia 👌🏾

🧵regarding the 117 deaths in The Iliad where Homer provided details about the mechanism of injury:

Here we will run an M&M conference to consider whether these deaths might have been preventable if the Achaeans and Trojans had modern Level 1 trauma centers at the time.
