S4 E10: "The dazzling invention of the echogenic needle: our convo with Chris Mitchell!"

When Australian anesthesiologist Chris Mitchell grew frustrated with needles disappearing at steep angles, inspiration struck in an unlikely place: the reflectors on a bicycle. We hear how that insight, experimentation with homemade tools in a shed, and a willingness to "cut a few corners" led to Pajunk’s Cornerstone technology—and changed the way the rest of us see our needles. Chris is a sharp guy, with more than a few super-bright ideas.
