This week was filled with many spontaneous teaching opportunities. This question was asked to us seriously which led to a presentation to the anesthesia nurses on respiratory physiology. Justin was able to draw simple diagrams to show concepts such as why it is important to give oxygen prior to putting the patient to sleep, Of course there was a prolonged discussion on the weight of women’s breasts, and Justin made a joke that in Canada men have big boobs also and made them all laugh. It turns out that there is no time given to formal teaching for nurse anesthetists!-so this was a first for them and you could see light bulbs going off. 
Lynn and Louise were busy doing a teaching blitz with recovery room nurses, and nurses in various wards. Most nights they can be seen peering at the computer trying to put a talks together on the fly!! They have already had to do multiple revisions as they start to comprehend their target audience and the preconceptions of the caregivers.
Small group sessions, teaching o
n the fly in the operating room, and doing regional blocks-its been great.So here are some more pics folks.
Take care
Jennifer
