Welcome back to another episode of Behind the Drapes! In this episode, we talk to Dr. Brenda Satterthwaite - one of the assistant program directors and the clinical site director for The Miriam Hospital. In this episode we not only talk about her academic and administrative roles, we get into scuba diving, Settlers of Catan strategy, and how she decompresses from a stressful day. If you’re a parent and are curious what to expect if your child ever needs surgery, Brenda also does a good job explaining what it’s like being a Pediatric Anesthesiologist. Come see what’s going on Behind the Drapes with Dr. Satterthwaite!
