12:10: The Health Roundup with Jay McQueen.


12:13-12:30: Every year more than 30,000,000 surgical procedures are performed under anesthesia. So odds have it that every six to seven years, one of us may need to be rolled into the operating room to hand over full control of our lives to surgeons and anesthesiologists. For most of us, it’s that fear of the unknown that makes this experience frightening…especially as television and movie screens are flooded with anesthesia-related horror stories.
Guest: Dr. Ben Taimoorazy, renowned anesthesiologist and author of Before You Go Under: A Step By Step Guide To Ease Your Mind Before Going Under Anesthesia.

12:35: Researchers in McMaster University’s Nursing Health Services Research Unit have identified what could be termed a ‘brain waste’ of foreign-trained nurses in Canada. The McMaster researchers found most internationally educated nurses (IENs) are not eligible to practice on arrival.
Guest: Andrea Baumann, Director, Nursing Health Services Research Unit, McMaster site, and associate vice-president, international health in the Faculty of Health Sciences.


12:45: Rexall Radio Health Matters segment.
