"My father at 18 assisting renowned heart surgeon Michael DeBakey. The surgery was an open heart valve replacement. My dad was still in high school. He's an ER doc now" "- A true brush with greatness. I wonder how he was able to assist in the OR with a living legend at such a young age?" "- He lived across the street from another surgeon in Houston who was apparently extremely friendly. He was interested in medicine and asked the guy if he could observe a surgery. I guess it went from there. Something you could never do today I imagine." 🍀 🙏🏻👏🏻
One of our neurosurgeons sponsors high school students to observe him in the OR. St Michael's in Toronto is a teaching hospital and encourages all levels of learning. The patient of course has the final say and has to give consent for observers☺😷
