Tune in to hear Seth and I discuss being a new attending, intubation, health policy and cricoid pressure!
Hi folks!

Excellent commentary
What next after ‘Seth takes Washington’?
I’m gonna vote for ‘DuCanto does Dallas’…would be an interesting videopodcast…
Ooohhh….Yeehhhh…… We can only hope one of my colleagues down there will invite me down there to lecture. Especially if it involves some high quality, disaster management simulation, or zero gravity airway management via SGA in their modified airplane for zero gravity simulation–Airway management at the Kennedy Space Center, etc…
I would rather go to Maryland (US Navy)—I do have an idea to ventilate victims underwater in a trapped vehicle/aircraft (I do have a SCUBA diving background, only 3 shipwreck dives).
