Vascular Surgery
I love vascular surgery because it ’ s demanding , it ’ s challenging and it ’ s never boring . There are no two vascular patients who are the same or two vascular procedures that are exactly alike . One of the most rewarding aspects of doing this type of work is that I get to develop long-term relationships with my patients . I spend a lot of time talking , educating and asking questions and learning from them . These relationships grow and change , from the first-time meeting under dire circumstances in the emergency department where trust must be built quickly because every second lost could mean a lost limb , or a life not saved , to the moment right before a patient goes off to sleep and I hold their hand and say , “ We will take good care of you ,” to the clinic visits when the incision isn ’ t healing well . I ’ m always humbled and honored that I can share in these incredible experiences and be a part of someone ’ s life story of triumph , survival and , hopefully , a dignified death .
