Wonderful meeting lots of learning, especially around Venus, congestion and right heart catheterization.
Great to see some other Critical Care friends. Suggest Critical Care breakout next year.

Atmospheric pressure plummeting now in Naples as Ian's extreme low pressure center nears southwest Florida. Before radar & satellite, many used a storm glass to tell of an approaching hurricane. By the time water was dripping out of the spout, it was almost too late to prepare.
Currently Miami and Fort Lauderdale are dry 80° with a breeze. Looks challenging for Fort Myers through Tampa. No flooding locally here. Thank you for everyone reaching out.
To all my friends looking at Florida and the incoming hurricane this is what our skies look like right now is the first bands of rain in Crossing Miami
