Learning through simulation

I still remember my internship days in 2009 at Mayo Hospital: a 2400-bed hospital with high bad occupancy in Lahore, Pakistan. I visualize my senior teaching me intubation in the emergency room, saying “the patient is deteriorating, put in the laryngoscope, visualize vocal cords and intubate quickly.” Unfortunately, my first attempt at intubation on the patient failed and my senior had to reintubate the patient.
