Why worry, I better fly.
I worry about my US friends. 🇺🇸 has become a complacent, unreliable partner, but you elected him.
MAGA the hope - dictatorship, loss of freedom of speech, and tariffs in exchange. Makes me truly sad, but..
Why worry, I can still fly here
🇨🇭 is a free democracy

I love the beeping.
Accoustic signals play an important role in my life.
Beeping in the ICU = my patient has a heartbeat = alive
Beeping in the air while flying = I am climbing
Beeping IS GOOD
What are your favorite beeps?

#PedsICU
This year we welcomed participants from 10 different countries (🇨🇭, 🇩🇪, 🇺🇸, 🇵🇭, 🇸🇦, 🇦🇹, 🇭🇷, 🇳🇱,🇬🇷, 🇸🇮 ). We could observe how you all improved your skills during the two days.

Taking care of sick children is such a rewarding task. Children have their own ways of expressing their gratitude. She was 14 and seriously ill when she drew this portrait of me. I received it 9 years later after her 2nd successful lung transplantation. ❤️

The knowledge and expertise in ventilating critically-ill children has progressed dramatically. This conference has become such an important place to exchange knowledge and to discuss previous, ongoing and future trials - and all in a very collegial and professional atmosphere. Thank you both.

Sign out, drop in.
In 🇨🇭 we retire at the age of 65. A difficult scenario for an enthusiastic physician to change from a 150% workload in respiratory and critical care to "nothing". I am privileged to continue as a part-time consultant - with less admin burden and more time for action.

We support to practice endoscopy on manikins before working on children. It is not appropriate to practice new skills on patients if simulation training is available. Our
training will enhance your endoscopy and difficult airway skills. Their is a need for these opportunities.
