Also he reminded the audience of the @FAERanesthesia "honor your mentor" fundraising campaign, for which he is graciously offering matching funds up to $5k. Donations can be made online or at the FAER booth at #ANES18
Very interesting talk on the cost of care in the ICU at the end of life. "Inappropriate care is inappropriate despite the (relatively) low likelihood of increasing cost." #anes18#Science
