Mentorship is an invaluable gift in one’s career. Today I had the privilege to scrub on Jeff Carpenter’s last case 🥹( CEA). A master surgeon and friend. His impact on me and my career cannot be overstated.
Who was that mentor for you ?

Honest conversations about smoking cessation can be effective.
We love nice pics from the OR, but the patient below is a two block claudicant who quit smoking because of our initial office visit. He then persuaded his wife to stop too. No intervention and Posted with permission.
