We're going to have a great session including the basics on standard brachial plexus blocks and newer approaches to the infraclavicular space!

@McGinnRyan It was one of the first major changes I made when I first started as Program Director. Very few programs were doing it at the time. It was wholeheartedly supported. That was 10 years ago!!!

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

@drlauraduggan I try to avoid that stairwell....and getting into the national art gallery is a nightmare for me.....;)

So..ever wonder how many Anesthesia Assistants it takes to help me do a block?..don’t forget the one behind the camera lens. 😂

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!!

@DoyleLeilani @michellekwilson You rock!

1) identifying the pro block surgeon.
2) initially the OR scheduler assigned a block savvy Anesthesiologist.
3) “preop block” placed on the OR schedule serving as a notice to day care nurses to triage them first we can get them to the block room first!
