It's this, when we were looking for places to shoot, Menno, obviously not a large, the movie takes place in Skidmore.
44:06
Skidmore, Missouri is when the movie took place in 1981.
44:09
It's when the actual, the actual scenes took place, but Skidmore.

When I was trying to find bars, you know, I have bars in Parker, Kelly's.
44:20
I've shot some scenes in Kelly's bar in Parker.

was doing found a way to get out.

And actually, as a result of a perioperative medicine clinical trials network, SAMPITT day, in maybe two thousand and sixteen, we recognized that antimicrobial prescribing was a problem
5:57
problemAntimicrobial resistance particularly is a critical issue for healthcare in general.
6:04
It's on the National Risk Register for the United Kingdom.
6:06
It's a WHO priority for resolving, and yet the biggest driver of resistance is the use of antimicrobials, n-not only in healthcare, also in agriculture, but there is a lot of use of antimicrobials in healthcare which leads to resistance.
6:22
Now, we undertook a systematic review which looked at lots of different studies that examined antimicrobial prescribing administration in surgery, and obviously there are over three hundred million surgical procedures every year, many of which get an antimicrobial, and so there's a particular source of antimicrobial prescribing in surgery.
6:40
And in that systematic review, we found that it's likely that giving less antimicrobials may not be harmful, suggesting that we could use fewer doses of antimicrobials in surgery to prevent infections routinely.
6:56
However, to provide su-sufficient evidence to support that decision-making in the clinical environment requires a larger trial.

Mm-hmm.
18:48
Can you explain that?
18:49
In the event of an emergency, we are the one that is gonna receive the alert, whether it's coming from a national source, a state source, a regional source.
18:59
Or if it's local, we're the ones that are firing it off.
19:04
And then we become the public information officer in the event of that emergency to relay the pertinent and important information to the public from the first responders of whatever that emergency may mi- may be.
19:20
And recently, it was about two years ago on a Halloween evening when there was... we had a week of heavy rain and the mountainside here had a slide, a landslide on it, and it blocked off the one road that we have, cutting the island in half.
19:37
We were the ones on the air that night telling people to stay clear of that area while the workers were there clearing the rubble.
21:39
How do you respond to that critique?
21:41
Well, I like to sit down and, and talk with people one-on-one, and hopefully, you know, have a, have a good conversation about that, because s- sometimes they're- they've got a point.

So long-term care

We are the source of entertainment, information, and emergency events.
9:34
We've had tsunami warnings.
9:42
There was an earthquake down on Prince of Wales Island, just offshore, and the tsunami warning center put out a tsunami warning.
9:51
The medical center was able to evacuate all of the long-term care residents and got them up to the ball field, our highest point on the island.
10:01
Safety response to a tsunami is to get to 100 foot above sea level.
10:07
And being an island, we're all on sea level.
