Hi , My name is Roger Reichenbach . I work in Detroit Michigan , as a Clinical Specialist RRT in a Cardiovascular/Cardiothoracic ICU with experience in Research, Acute Care, Surgical ICU , ECMO, Transplant and Cardiac assist devices with some Neonatal experience . A Rotating Shift Lead Team member, Department Hospital Supervisor . I have 39yrs experience, currently my time is divided between direct patient care, clinical education, quality assurance and management . I was motivated to join this group by realizing how keeping so much of my negative emotional experiences to myself can become toxic over time . Humor based on anecdotal experiences is a therapeutic personal & educational tool I use in my practice.I still remember the first time I read the " House of God, " and the insights it taught me as a new Respiratory Therapist.

Hi everyone,
Since we're such a diverse group, I thought we might take some time to introduce ourselves so that our future posts have a bit more context and color. Feel free to share who you are, what you do, what you are currently working on, what brought you to join this KEG, or something about you that your fellow critical care clinicians might find interesting or surprising.
My name is Dominika Skarka, I am a Manager in Organizational Affairs at SCCM and I work with Committee appointments, KEGs and Chapters. In my spare time I like to travel with my son.
Now it's your turn - introduce yourselves!
