Good Morning #Canada
Canadian inventors have vastly improved every day life. Consider the innovations that global citizens are now thankful for: the telephone, basketball, snowmobiles, Imax movies, hockey, canoes, bras, insulin, zippers, paint rollers, athletic support, and poutine. Sorry we're so awesome.
Now an invention by a Dartmouth emergency physician in 2022 has made it easier for emergency rooms to safely remove rings from fingers. Previously doctors and nurses would have relied on tools from hardware stores with all the scary moments a patient could experience. "You might want to look away while I do this...". A serendipitous meeting at a medical tradeshow will likely give the invention an added boost.
