Showing AppreciationFor Nurse AnesthetistsBY BETTY BISGARD, CRNAAvera Sacred Heart Hospital

In recognition of their profes-sion’s long history and enduringrecord of patient safety, CertifiedRegistered Nurse Anesthetists(CRNAs) in Yankton, SD, andacross the country are celebratingthe 14th annual National NurseAnesthetists Week, January 20-26,2013, with this year’s theme of“Promoting a Noble Profession.”

Established by the AmericanAssociation of Nurse Anesthetists(AANA), National Nurse Anes-thetists Week was created to en-courage CRNAs to take theopportunity to educate the publicabout anesthesia safety, questionsto ask prior to undergoing surgeryand the benefits of receiving anes-thesia care from nurseanesthetists.

One of the many rewards ofbeing a nurse anesthetist is pro-viding patients with the comfortof knowing that we will be by theirside monitoring their vital signsand adjusting their anesthetics toensure a pain free and safe anes-thesia experience. National NurseAnesthetists Week serves as anopportunity to inform the publicexactly what CRNAs do and whowe are.

Nurse anesthetists are ad-vanced practice registered nurseswho administer approximately 32million anesthetics in the UnitedStates each year. CRNAs practicein every setting where anesthesiais available and deliver anesthet-ics to the vast majority of ruralhospitals while offering obstetri-

cal, surgical and trauma stabiliza-tion services to these undeservedareas. CRNAs have been the mainprovider of anesthesia care to U.S.service men and women on thefront lines since World War I.

The South Dakota Associationof Nurse Anesthetists is astatewide professional organiza-tion of CRNAs dedicated to pro-viding quality anesthesia care topatients and promoting the pro-fession of nurse anesthesia.CRNAs in South Dakota are thesole anesthesia providers in 76%of South Dakota’s hospitals andare the sole providers in 100% ofSouth Dakotas rural hospitals.

We take pride in belonging to aprofession that has been at theforefront of anesthesia patientsafety for over 150 years. CRNAsplay a key role in developingtrends related to monitoring tech-nology, anesthetic drugs and stan-dards of care. In fact, due tocontinuing research and educa-tion, anesthesia today is nearly 50times safer than it was 20 to 30years ago.

Founded in 1931 and located inPark Ridge, Ill., the AANA is theprofessional organization for morethan 90 percent of the nation’sCRNAs and student registerednurse anesthetists. To learn moreabout National Nurse AnesthetistsWeek or the AANA, visitwww.aana.com.

At Avera Sacred Heart Hospi-tal, nine full-time and two part-time CRNAs provide anesthesia incollaboration with twoanesthesiologists.

BY DR. MIKE ROSMANN

Most historians believe Lincoln struggledthroughout his life with bouts of melancho-lia, the term used for depression during histime. He had to find behavioral remedies be-cause there were no antidepressantmedications.

Lincoln’s upcoming birthday on Febru-ary 12 reminded me to offer my perspectiveabout how he coped with his depressionand his wife’s bipolar tendencies.

Among the many books and articles I’veread about Lincoln, Doris Kearns Goodwin’s2005 book, Team of Rivals: The Political Ge-nius of Abraham Lincoln, was a particularinspiration, as was Steven Spielberg’s recentmovie, Lincoln.

Both Goodwin and Joshua Shenk, in his2006 book, Lincoln’s Melancholy: How Depres-sion Challenged a President and Fueled HisGreatness, indicate Lincoln’s first seriousepisode of depression likely occurred in 1835when he was 26 years old. The woman he wascourting, Ann Rutledge, died, probably of ty-phoid fever.

Lincoln had lost the three women to whomhe had become closest during his young life:his mother, his sister, and now Ann. Goodwinreports in her book that neighbors of Lincolnnoticed he became desperately sad duringdark gloomy days; they feared he might be-come deranged if he didn’t pull himselftogether.

Some 20 months later Lincoln moved toSpringfield, to practice law in the town that be-came the Illinois capital; his mood wasbrightening.

According to Goodwin and Shenk, Lincoln’ssecond serious bout of depression occurred in1840-41. Lincoln earlier had met Mary Todd, avivacious, intelligent socialite some nine yearsyounger than him. They were attracted toeach other despite their opposite personali-ties, or perhaps because of that.

Mary and Abraham became engaged afterseveral months of courtship and set their wed-ding date. The winter before they were to be

married, Lincoln becamedeeply troubled; the couplebroke off their engagement.

It isn’t clear what precip-itated the break-up, but Lin-coln’s best friend, JoshuaSpeed, wrote years laterthat probably Lincoln felthe didn’t deserve Mary.Was Lincoln affected by theprevious losses of womento whom he became closeand determined to not puthimself into a situationwhere he could get hurtagain?

Joshua was Lincoln’slandlord; they shared the

same double bed. It was not unusual for mento bunk together because living and sleepingaccommodations were few in that era. Theylived in a room above Speed’s general store.Customers often gathered for conversation atthe store and to enjoy Abe’s stories.

Sharing long nights together, whether infront of the fireplace or in bed, enabled themen to become fast friends who knew eachother’s intimate thoughts. There is nothing ofrecord that indicates Lincoln and Speed en-gaged in anything other than friendship.

According to Shenk’s book, after endingplans to marry, Lincoln became despondent tothe point he could not work, ate little andspent days and nights listless and brooding.Worried about Lincoln taking his own life,Speed removed knives and other sharp instru-ments from their home.

Retreat from social interactions, loss of in-terest and pleasure, little desire to eat, feelingsthat one does not deserve something good,crying spells, utter hopelessness and thoughtsof suicide-- these behaviors are symptoms ofdepression.

With the encouragement of his best friend,Lincoln forced himself to engage in oppositebehaviors. As the weather warmed, Lincolntook the walks outside that his roommate en-couraged. The two men talked frequently and

told jokes again, although Lincoln’s humorwas probably self deprecating.

Both Goodwin and Shenk wrote that Lin-coln drove himself to affiliate with people,even when he felt more like sinking into de-spair in his room. Lincoln wrote letters andtalked to his acquaintances when he didn’tfeel like it.

Lincoln made himself work. He prayed in-tensely to use these experiences to make him-self a better person.

Gradually the future president’s spiritslifted. He began to think more clearly andasked Mary some 18 months later to marryhim.

What Lincoln had gone through shaped hispersonal life and presidency. As the movie,Lincoln, portrays, the 16th president gentlybut firmly urged his wife to curb her excessivepurchases during manic episodes. He con-veyed understanding to Mary when their son,Willie, died and explained how their oldestson, Robert, needed to make his own decisionabout joining the Union Army.

Most importantly for the welfare of our na-tion, Lincoln forgave the slavery and insis-tence upon independence demanded by thesouthern states that temporarily formed theConfederacy. He modeled appreciation for di-versity, compassion for those suffering, andthe need to undertake reconciliation, whichprobably contributed to his own assassinationbut enabled the United States to get throughits greatest rupture.

Coping with depression gave Lincoln forti-tude and skills to deal with our nation’s prob-lems. President Abraham Lincoln provided usnot only humane political leadership throughan era of utmost civil turmoil, but he alsotaught us about managing our behavioralhealth. I often use his example to teach farmpeople whom I counsel about coping withdepression.
