I had the honour to work with Alice Dyna (Head Nurse, with several assistants who oversaw every shift of SIC) in the Recovery Room & Surgery ICU, before it was divided into two units. As an RN, I  worked there from 1973-76, completing the ICU Course and having incredible experiences as a relatively new grad (Grace 1972). Truly a learning experience. While challenging at times, I loved every minute – even calculating AaDO2s (LOL). Staff were encouraged to present on topics during education days. Bedside ICU nurses were well respected by the physicians. Dr Keith Warrian and Dr Lewis Oppenheimer were our primary residents and always knew exactly what was going on and how to give the best care.
