2 Extraordinary Prepare One way of looking at this might be that for 42 years, I ve been making small, regular deposits in this bank of experience: education and training. And on January 15 the balance was sufficient so that I could make a very large withdrawal. -Chesley Sullenberger Maximizing Teachable Moments Time constraints Patient education must be effective RT s must use every moment with patients as a teachable moment 2
