Tiny Perfusion Letter #773

Tiny Perfusion Letter

Whenever we don’t know how to start the TPL, it’s always a good idea to use a quote from someone relatively famous. It’s like buying one of those grilled chickens from the market place: it’s there, so why not use it?

We found this one from Michael J. Fox pretty inspiring:

My happiness grows in direct proportion to my acceptance, and in inverse proportion to my expectations.

Something to think about…

Also, we kid you not. There’s another survey… Feel the glow. This survey is aimed at gathering information on the methodologies applied in the management of Activated Clotting Time (ACT) testing in cardiac surgery centers across Europe. The focus of this survey is specifically on the management of ACT following reversal with protamine

Now, back to the future… Be kind to each other, please
