And you're there's a critical care physician in Canada who have first introduced me to the term called a failure friend, the friend that you can call up, not necessarily because you've failed, but there's been a failure, like, for example, a death. And sometimes it feels like a failure. Sometimes it's actually not a failure. It's just a sad because you witnessed it and helped with that transition.

And you just need these people sometimes to be able to call and just get it off your chest and speak about no judgment, no problem solving, no, oh, here's what you can do next time. But literally, I just need to talk about this.

And there are things that I think are coming to the surface in terms of important, not just for physicians, for many people in health care and in other fields, but I'll say in the case specifically of physicians, what happens in the emergency department and on an emergency department shift, you just can't really explain it completely.

And certainly people get a view into that when they watch the doctor TV shows.

So I made the decision to stay in what they call academic medicine, which means that when you, if you go out into a private practice or in a community hospital, often there are no other expectations except going in and working your shift. When you stay and work in an academic center, in a teaching hospital, there are doctors in training.

and other healthcare team members where you end up teaching them. In my case, I would teach them about emergency medicine, but within emergency medicine, my specialization became the use of ultrasound at the bedside. And when I really completed my training in ultrasound and then started teaching, it was a new technology for the emergency department.

It was very common in radiology, but not for the emergency department. So it became very, let's see, there was a large demand to teach ultrasound. So that's really a lot of my teaching and education has been in the use of ultrasound at the bedside. And within the training programs, there was a demand across the country, but also

Across the world, I have traveled to teach ultrasound in many other countries, both to physicians as well as to nurses, as well as to midwives, as well as because ultrasound happens to be a very relatively affordable service.

technology to help make patient care decisions and the technology has evolved to be even more affordable even smaller and the motivation what I've really loved about the teaching and specifically teaching ultrasound is you're helping people deliver safer care and make better decisions for patients and it just that it's a really good feeling

I truly believe that fields and people have more in common than not in common. And the way the U.S. education system works, you go to four years of university before then you do specialization commonly. And so many colleges and universities, you get what they call a liberal arts education. And I have always enjoyed learning many different subject areas, studying many different languages.
