- Why did you become a vascular surgeon?
I loved the ability to operate all over the body and use a variety of different strategies to solve complex problems. I thought endovascular tools were fascinating and would demand me to continue to improve and think critically about how I care for patients. I thought open surgery was elegant and technically demanding. I thought that I would be very fulfilled and a career in vascular surgery would be very gratifying.
- Why did you join VESS?
I had heard such great things! The people in the society, the quality of the meeting, the opportunity to meet like-minded vascular surgeons were all reasons to join.
