Retreat

Hello everyone, 

Retreat is coming up.  I just needed to see if there are any residents that can offer help in  putting together the final arrangements.  Thus far we have: 

Avetisyan = Transportation and Car Rental (and his team of three drivers) 

Abukamleh = Arrangement of the bonfire pit and parking at the pits. (Dockwiler Beach)

I still need someone to help with:

- Snacks/Drinks (water and soda) during our beach activities including bonfire (smores). 

- Accessories for our usual beach activities (balls/ropes/balloons...etc). Dr. Aguirre might have more information on that.  

Raj and I, with the help of Frances, have already made the rest of the reservations.  

 

Thank you, 

Raj and Ali

The procedural service, runned by Pulmonary and Critical care division is now available to perform bedside procedures  from 8 am to 4:30 pm , Monday to Friday.

 

This procedures include:

 

Lumbar puncture, Thoracentesis, Paracentesis, Central line placement (or HD catheter), arthrocentesis (Knee or elbow).

 

The goals are to train residents in the Department of Medicine, expedite turn around to have the procedures done, save cost by improving patient safety and complications, and decrease the "load" of referral to IR to perform them.

 

 

 

Thank you
