Please join me in celebrating Anesthesiologists Week, which begins today and runs through February 6. I am proud of the commitment that my profession shows to #PatientSafety and #PatientAdvocacy. (ASA® #PhysAnesWk21)

Grab a cup of ☕️ and join us for our first #SCATAS2021 Faculty Feature 📣: The Godfather of #thoracicanesthesia himself, Peter Slinger! 🤩🇨🇦🫁 He literally wrote THE BOOK 📖 (+ so much more) on thoracic anesthesia and first proposed the TAS in 2012. Why the 💡for TAS? 1/6

From Dr. Slinger: “Since residency, my clinical interest has always been Thoracic Anesthesiology...For years I felt that there was very little high-level CME available to these non-cardiac Anesthesiologists, even though they often manage large and complex thoracic cases” 2/6

Favorite part of TAS? ⬇️ “I have often thought that I learned as much at a CME meeting from the person beside me in the audience or the coffee-line as I learned from the speaker on the podium”. 🎤 3/6

What about the future of TAS? “The future of the TAS looks strong in the hands of AlessiaPedotoMD, Rebecca Klinger, MD MS and Emily Teeter, MD, FASE (to name a few). How will they replace that vital, unofficial, coffee-line CME without face-to face meetings?” 🖥 4/6

Thank you, Peter Slinger for your incredible wisdom, practical advice, and for the Thoracic Symposium as we know it. 🙌 We look forward to seeing you at #SCATAS2021!

🤯🙀 We started collecting surgical blue wrap (goes in trash otherwise). This is just a couple ORs and one day !! It’s mind boggling. Let’s ♻️. What can we make out of it if we cannot recycle. Ideas ?
