you that you won't want to leave our exhibit hall). A few sessions I'd like
to highlight:
•
Same-Day Total Joint Workshop.
If you want to provide total hip and
total knee procedures on an outpatient basis, be sure to sign up for
this special 2-day, 8-hour, pre-conference workshop. An orthopod and
a CRNA who recently launched a total joint program at their
Pennsylvania ASC will share all you need to know in this hands-on
session.
•
Learn to Use Laughter to Let Out Little Puffs of Pain.
Bobbie Staten, RN,
CSP, calls herself a motivational humorist. You'll call her flat-out
funny.
•
How Transparency Can Revolutionize Health Care.
Famed surgeon
Marty Makary, MD, is a best-selling author, frequent TV commentator
and one of the best speakers out there. He'll discuss how true
accountability in health care would usher in tremendous positive
changes.
We're sure we'll encounter other scary, hairy moments at OR
Excellence in the Big Easy, like muted microphones (Can you hear
me?), speakers who outdistance the clock (Questions, anyone?) and
stubborn PowerPoint slides that don't advance on cue (Let's go back
just a few). But the show must go on. It always does. Just don't let
them see you sweat. Hope to see you in New Orleans. OSM
