Airway, Breathing, Conversation
Patient-centered anesthetic information with a uniquely Saskatchewan point of view. Run by the anesthesiology residents at the University of Saskatchewan, this podcast was created with the goal of providing individuals with anesthesiology-related medical information. Join us as we demystify the incredible specialty that is anesthesiology! This podcast does not replace real-world medical advice! Please speak with a physician to address your personal health concerns. Also, the views expressed on this show are our own and do not necessarily represent those of the USask Dept of Anesthesiology.
