The ABC Algorithm: Why C Should ALWAYS Come First - At the Bedside and in Life | Michael L. Epter, DO FAAEM

Thursday, April 23, 2020 | 8:00am-8:45am
Phoenix DE

As physicians we are held to a higher standard than the rest of the population - as we should be. However, we must all be reminded of the simple fact that we are people too - men and women subject to the same emotions, challenges, and adversities that all of us are. When you realize how quickly everything can fall apart it makes you never want to give up anything good. I invite you on a professional and deeply personal journey of lessons learned in an effort to inspire you to always be mindful of what is meaningful at the bedside and in life - why "C" should always come first.
