One excellent host · two days of hands-on simulator training · a live case and case-in-a-box, woven between talks on PCI planning and basics, physiology and imaging, need-to-knows outside the cath lab and more…🙏
All eyes on the Birmingham Cardiology Group this week. A huge thank you to the teams at Midland Metropolitan University Hospital, Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham and Heartlands Hospital for hosting the BCIS Trainees Interventional Course.
Thank you too to our programme committee, faculty, industry partners and every trainee who arrived ready to learn.

I'm obsessed with cognitive biases.
A "cognitive bias" is a systematic error in thinking that destroys decision-making.
11 most powerful (and dangerous) cognitive biases I've found: 🧵
1. Survivorship Bias:
If running is your sanity then highly recommend this once in a lifetime - an utterly spectacular coming together of sports, charity, post-war compassion, empathy+human spirit at its greatest….in one of the worlds greatest wonders 🛕

"I've done it!" On 16 September 1977, Andreas Grüntzig made history: he carried out the first #angioplasty, and changed the lives of millions of patients forever.
Standing on the shoulders of the giants that came before him, his vision and determination drove an entire new field of cardiology: Interventional Cardiology
Listen to this description of his incredible journey by Jean Marco, who knew him and was also a pioneer in the field. Jean Marco carried out his first angioplasty in 1979 and was inspired by Gruntzig's example to launch a LIVE demonstration Course in 1982.
This ultimately paved the way for the first PCR Course in 1989, founded with Jean Fajadet in Toulouse, and gave birth to PCR as we know it today.

Two people who collaborate well will be about three times as effective as each of them operating independently, because each will see what the other might miss--plus they can leverage each other's strengths while holding each other accountable to higher standards. #principleoftheday

Sometimes, in our medical silos, information from another speciality breaks through the firewall and the advances sound like science fiction.
Extraordinary progress in HIV.

I am so proud of my beautiful wife @mountmargarita for becoming the first Colombian woman to complete the Seven Summits and the first Colombian to climb not just Everest 8814 m but also Lhotse 8516m, a double 8000 in a row. Wow, just wow.
Thank you Senator Bernie Sanders -
