Real Airway Stories - Nathan Brown

Airway training is most often focused on critical concepts and procedural skills, but what about the value of our human stories? How do the saves, the scary moments, and the bad outcomes impact us as care providers, and is there a way to share those stories so they have meaning and impact on our collective practice?

This is the goal of Air Time. A narrative medicine project that brings these personal stories to you. Each one is filled with shared experience, and lessons learned, and through them provides understanding and support through storytelling.

We think you will find these stories express the deep personal impact our work has not only on the lives of the patients, but also on the clinicians who care for them. We also think this is a profoundly personal and moving way to pass on our knowledge to the next generation of caregivers. We hope you listen, learn, and then join us by telling your story.
