Quotes by Erica Frenkel
-
“We never think about [anesthesia] until we don't have access to it, and then it becomes a gatekeeper. … Who gets safe surgery and who doesn't?”
-
“If we could design for the [hospital] environment that exists in so many parts of the world, rather than the one that we wished existed — we might just save a lot of lives.”
