Sorry to hear what he was really like. But not surprising. I’ve noticed that those who are the very best or near to such, tend to develop (or already have) some deficits when it comes to people skills (or empathy). The group isn’t nearly as good now IMO. I’m considering transferring to another group now that I’ve moved to the Dallas area. I’d really like to get the actual procedure done at the Cleveland Clinic, but not sure if that’s feasible due to recovery time.
A “DeBakey Procedure” (replacing the entire aorta) is a big deal. I would go to where they do it every day.
