In memoriam of Alain Cribier pcronline.com/News/Whats-new… It was with deep sadness that PCR and the interventional community learnt today of the sudden passing of Alain Cribier. Professor Cribier changed the face of cardiology forever by creating the transcatheter aortic valve #TAVI, but above all he was a true gentleman, a kind-hearted and generous person, who endeared himself to his colleagues and cared deeply about his patients. Our most sincere and heartfelt condolences to Alain Cribier's family, colleagues and loved ones - may he rest in peace. @heleltchaninoff @EAPCIPresident

Why do so many American politicians from both parties care 100 times more about the Ukraine border than the USA border?

With all the talk about the Succession finale on Sunday, we got to thinking about how the Roy family would invest and save their mountains of cash. It’s time for a thread... 👇 (1/9)

These final few weeks with my dad have been precious beyond words. At the end of every visit, he asked me to pray for him. Which of course I did. On my knees beside the big leather chair he was confined to for the past several months. But as I was leaving his house this past Saturday night, he asked if he could pray for me. As if he knew. Then, as was his habit, he said, “I couldn’t be prouder of you Andy.” The source of a word determines its weight. Those were wonderfully weighty words. And his final words to me. I’ll miss him every day until I see him again.

A high credit score doesn't matter. It's proof that you've borrowed money and paid it back, so that you can borrow more money and pay THAT back. If you want a life without debt, you've got to stop chasing a life WITH debt.

You will harvest what you plant. So, plant intentionally. Plant good habits, good values, good work, good decisions... YOU decide.

Replying to @MGHMedicine
@MGHMedicine now calls for ALL healthcare providers to use N95 masks for suspected or confirmed COVID-19 patients. (Not just for aerosolizing procedures.) Fortunate to be working at a place supporting its frontline workers!
