Hello and I am really thrilled because today we have our first international guest on the ACRAC podcast and I am going to

introduce her in just a moment. First I want to remind everyone that another

exciting ACRAC first is coming up in April.

On April 24th we'll be having our first ever live ACRAC podcast here at Johns Hopkins in front of a live audience.

If you're interested in coming to that just email us

atcrac at acrac.com. It's going to be a lot of fun. We're going to have a

guest from the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center as well as guests from

Hopkins and it is going to be a really fun entertaining night and

we should all learn a lot. Now let's turn back to today because as I said I have

with me a fantastic guest and I have with me Barbara Versick who is an

anesthesiologist from Belgium. Now Barbara graduated about five years ago from

university in Belgium and then worked at a couple really large hospitals in the Netherlands

and she's now on staff at a hospital in Belgium. She also has a PhD and did that on the topic of pectoral nerve blocks for breast cancer surgery.

She's a regular speaker and trainer at international conferences on the topic of thoracic

wall blocks and I think this is going to be a really interesting and educational episode.

Barbara, thank you so much for coming on the show.

Thank you for having me.

I should have asked you before we started recording, but I'll ask you now, did I

pronounce your last name correctly how do you

pronounce it? You did it perfectly I was wondering as well but you did it just perfect my name is

Barabarabrabrabrabr Vrigu so that was quite the excellent English pronunciation

good thank you I'm glad I did that quite the excellent English pronunciation.
