PeDIA resolves the problems of traditional mask induction while fostering a sense of trust and patient satisfaction.
DIANE MILLER
Founder
I began my college career as a student of aerospace engineering. During my sophomore year I had an experience that changed the course of my life: having my wisdom teeth removed. The fear I experienced at the thought of surgery was overwhelming, fears largely influenced by my own childhood memories of mask induction.
Fortunately, a nurse anesthetist named Mike calmly walked me through the anesthetic process, calming my fears and even earning an unexpected laugh. The last thing I remember was Mike wishing me “Sweet dreams”, and I drifted off to sleep.
The experience was so transformative that at the age of 20 I was inspired to change my major, and I’ve never looked back.
Two decades later, I can say without reservation I made the right choice. Every day I have the chance to talk my patients through their questions, calm their fears, and help them experience those same ‘sweet dreams.’
As the inventor of PeDIA, I’m finally marrying those experiences with my background in engineering – and I’m still not looking back!
