Firstly, the video was of poor quality. Secoundly, the contents were excellent. Lastely, Dr Gowan gave a very compassionate lecture. She outlined her knowledge to all health professionals in an hostilic approach, promoting how important it is for the safety of each health professional to communicate to each other for the well being of the patient.
