Stepping into the operating room is a unique experience every time. From the meticulous preparation and collaboration with my incredible team to the intense focus during surgery, each moment is a testament to dedication and skill. Mentoring young surgeons allows me to share not only techniques but also the passion and precision that cardiac surgery demands. It's about more than saving lives; it's about inspiring the next generation to continue this vital work. 

wow, that's truly inspiring! big respect for what you do and for mentoring the future lifesavers. keep it up, Dr. Smith! 🙌❤️
