Tsen, MD Vice Chair, Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative & Pain Medicine Associate Director, Center for Professionalism & Peer Support Brigham & Women s Hospital Associate Professor in Anaesthesia Harvard Medical School

2 Labor Analgesia No Disclosures...from so simple a beginning, endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved. Origin of the Species Darwin
