Today is the retirement symposium for a doc that we’ve done a lot of work for. It’s also, for those of you who’ve somehow missed it, Talk Like A Pirate Day.
I somehow doubt those two things will combine in an interesting fashion, but I can always hope. Especially since several of the educational lectures are being videotaped.
“Arrr mateys! This here be the symposia on extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation fer surgical life support. What ye landlubbers in the back rows may’t call ‘ECMO’ for short. Ifn’ ye ain’t familiar with them scientific principles whot makes it all work, then get yerself over to the lecture on cardiopulmonary mechanical support systems, or I’ll keelhaul ye meself!”
