The best surgeons aren't always the most skilled, but the most self-aware. They know their strengths, accept their weaknesses, and work tirelessly to improve both.

With the flood of tricuspid endocarditis over the last few years, pacemaker implantation in these patients is undesirable post TV replacement. Here’s a nice trick @APolancoMD showed me which avoids conduction complications


You cannot pour from an empty cup, prioritize self care. It pains me to see so many physicians/surgeons not taking the time and effort to take care of themselves. Your mood, your physique, your attentiveness, your performance in the OR are all tied together.
