Up to 80% of cancer cases require surgical intervention. Yet, a large part of the population doesn't have access to surgical care. This is not acceptable. Not on #WorldCancerDay, and not on any other day. 👉 Let's #CloseTheCareGap, visit globalsurgeryfoundation.org/about-us

When performing an epidural, it is useful to think about size of the syringe. As Macintosh shows (Image - 1958), a 2 kg force on a 2 cc syringe will generate 3.5 times more pressure compared to the pressure when using a 10 cc syringe. The educated thumb feels the pressure.
