Fundamental Knowledge

I look forward to the exercises. This is by far one of the most challenging issues of our time.

Great book

Voice narrator is pretty good. I think it's best to read in a book to remind yourself when times get rough at work. Audiobook is good too for a first time listen.

Great book! LOTS of suggestions

So many suggestions can often be overwhelming. This is alright though because the author states to just do some of them. This is a great book!

It was pretty good and I learned some new things.

I can't say that I loved it or that I hated it. It delivered some solid information but, nothing stood out as especially insightful or new.

Incivility in the OR

This book I inspired me. Few know how operating room staff treat each other. We are focused on the patient at every moment but treat one another with incivility routinely, and at all levels. There is a mindset of secrecy and fear to speak up. There isn't supposed to be, but there is. Few leaders are equipped to change this culture that has been shown to undermine the safety of our patients. I hope to share this book with every Surgical Services Leader I know in the Columbus OH area. Next time you require surgery, insist on your OR staff being kind and civil to one another. This insistence from every patient will make them stop and think about how they can truly create the safest surgical environment for you while you are under anesthesia. We are all skilled at surgery, but we lack skills and leadership to eradicate disruptive behaviors that undermine the culture of safety. I have thought about leaving my profession that I love but I hung on every word of this book and have a renewed sense of hope. Be well.

Lots of research

If you are interested in a book that is heavily researched, this is your book! It was common sense advice and great research.
