Was at @ChrisStapleton concert in Richmond tonight. There was an emergency and he stopped mid song and directed EMTs to the location. Cool as a cucumber. I liked Chris the singer/artist. Now I’m a fan of Chris the human. Kudos.
Watching evening news, FBI searching Lindsey Graham’s residence. I would think that a Stanford Type A dissection would be the last thing you could fake or cause.

From a critical heart defect to Olympic Gold. Shaun’s keynote wasn’t just about athletic grit; it was a testament to the skill and dedication of the cardiothoracic surgery community. As a baby, his life was in Dr. Lamberti’s hands. Today, he stood before the world's top surgeons
So great seeing you! See you in Boston next year
The highlight of academic surgery-mixing science with time with old friends (and making new ones). Bonus if it’s poolside! Halsted Surgical Society w/ president John Mullen & new UTMB chair Matt Hutter (new cowboy boots not pictured) @MGHSurgery @BrighamSurgery
Might discourage people from putting in TAVR in low risk, young patients. Or not.

I hope everybody has seen this important study. Survival after TAVR was half compared to SAVR. If TAVR outcomes were better, this would clearly be published in @NEJM. Congratulations to the authors and @JTCVS. #TAVR is for the elderly…don’t drink the cool-aid. @AortaEd @MGHHeartHealth
Always learn something when @MarcMoonMD speaks, even after almost 35 years!
Understanding the pivotal point on the burnout scale is critical. Perspectives from Dr. @MarcMoonMD during his talk on “Professionalism, Diversity, & the Training of a Surgeon" at the Shumway Visiting Professor lecture. @BCM_Surgery @Texas_Heart ✨ Watch:

Drs.@MarcMoonMD & @vicenteorozco2
were invited by the AATS Foundation to Mexico City, where they had the privilege of doing 2 of 6 surgeries that took place at @NacionalChavez. The commitment across borders and enhancing the global bidirectional exchange of knowledge is laudable!
