She is a mother of two young boys, owner and sole practitioner of a cosmetic and therapeutic botox clinic, works their family’s hobby farm and when not at work, she enjoys horseback riding/roping, camping, and watching her sons learn to dirt bike and BMX.

Malignant hyperthermia is a rare, anesthesia specific occurrence. However, knowing what to look for and how to treat malignant hyperthermia will not only save a life but also decrease the end organ dysfunction that makes this pathologic process so life changing.
