Welcome to the next installment of the Anesthesia Patient Safety podcast hosted by Alli Bechtel. This podcast will be an exciting journey towards improved anesthesia patient safety.
We are leaving the operating room and heading back to the movies today. So, go ahead and grab some more popcorn. We have documentary film director, Mike Eisenberg on the show again today to talk about his new project which has just been released in the United States, The Pitch. This documentary is all about the evolving role of technology in improving patient safety across medicine. Thank you so much to Eisenberg for contributing to the show for the past two weeks.

Hello and welcome back to the Anesthesia Patient Safety Podcast. My name is Alli Bechtel, and I am your host. Thank you for joining us for another show. Last week, we left the operating room for a trip to the movie to talk about The Pitch, a documentary about the intersection of patient safety and technology. Time for a popcorn refill as we continue our conversation with the filmmaker, Mike Eisenberg. Have you seen The Pitch yet? If not, we hope that it is on your watch list since this documentary is all about the evolving role of technology in improving patient safety across medicine.
Before we dive into the episode today, we’d like to recognize GE Healthcare, a major corporate supporter of APSF. GE Healthcare has generously provided unrestricted support to further our vision that “no one shall be harmed by anesthesia care”. Thank you, GE Healthcare – we wouldn’t be able to do all that we do without you!”
Check out the show notes for more information about Eisenberg’s patient safety films, the first film, To Err is Human, and his more recent one, The Pitch. You can find information about how to stream the films and a schedule for upcoming screenings. If you are interested in patient safety, then these films are for you. Now, it is time to sit back, relax, and listen to the rest of my conversation with documentary film director, Mike Eisenberg.
