Fri, Apr 29 – ‘Stories – The Human Side of Emergency Medicine’
Join us on Friday, April 29, 2016 from 7 pm to 9pm for “Stories – The Human Side of Emergency Medicine” – something never done at a conference before! This is a unique, once in a lifetime chance to hear real-life stories of the ED from three who have lived it large. Join Drs Grant Innes, Peter Rosen, and Ron Walls as they sit back, reminisce, and share tales from their emergency careers that made them laugh, cry or just shake their heads. These will be tales that you’ve never heard before, and may never hear again. The setting is casual, there will be a cash bar, and you will go home reminded that you work in the most interesting job in the world! DON’T MISS THIS!
