My First Weblog

The main objective of my weblog is to share ideas on a variety of subjects related to cardio-thoracic surgery. I have developed a vision about the practice of CT surgery, which is unlikely original or unique, but it is highly personal. I feel this is one way to informally disseminate my ideas and open avenues of discussion.

An idea is an organic beast: It changes and evolves. The simple passage of time is enough to effect changes on it, without conscious evaluation or assessment. I hope that as I continue in my life-long education, my ideas will evolve and change. This weblog may record some of this evolution. Help is appreciated along the way.

I once wrote to my brother that if he chose to do anything, he should choose to help, for this is the noblest pursuit of all. This weblog is an extension of that advice, directed inward. Fundamentally, this is why I became a doctor and then a surgeon. So, I hope that you will find something useful, and helpful, in it's passages.
