When your attending gives all 3 fellows @ASTSChimera their first caval anastomosis in liver transplant… you show #appreciation the only way that makes sense: with a bottle of Cava. Because great teaching deserves a sparkling #ThankYou . #Gratitude #surgtwitter

Find a program @ASTSChimera that doesn’t just train you in transplant/HPB but surrounds you with co-fellows who match your energy, your vibe, and your grind. Blessed to be doing this with the best crew @ClevelandClinic @me4_so #TransplantFam #fellowships #Grateful

Extraordinary year for Vanderbilt Heart. 174 heart transplants (108 DBD/66 DCD). Over 160,000 miles traveled. Spanning 46 states, Puerto Rico, and Canada. Nearly 1900 hours invested in recoveries. 75+ LVADs. Incredible teamwork. Grateful to our patients/donors. Look forward to 2025 - a year without machines? @VUMCDiscoveries @VUMC_heart @VUMCTransplant @AshShahMD @aniket_rali @menachem_j @BrianLimaMD @SDeVriesPAC

Love the critical mass of @UMichSurgery at @ClevelandClinic today! @arikanters @DocWak
Always a good day when you get to see a former @UMichSurgery chief. Especially so when it’s a talk by @AndrewMIbrahim
