How incredible is this? “The famous Italian diver Enzo Maiorca dove into the sea of ​​Syracuse and was talking to his daughter Rossana who was aboard the boat. Ready to go in, he felt something slightly hit his back. He turned and saw a dolphin. Then he realized that the dolphin did not want to play but to express something. The animal dove and Enzo followed. At a depth of about 12 meters, trapped in an abandoned net, there was another dolphin. Enzo quickly asked his daughter to grab the diving knives. Soon, the two of them managed to free the dolphin, which, at the end of the ordeal, emerged, issued an "almost human cry" (describes Enzo). (A dolphin can stay under water for up to 10 minutes, then it drowns.) The released dolphin was helped to the surface by Enzo, Rosana and the other dolphin. That’s when the surprise came: she was pregnant! The male circled them, and then stopped in front of Enzo, touched his cheek (like a kiss), in a gesture of gratitude and then they both swam off. Enzo Maiorca ended his speech by saying: “Until man learns to respect and speak to the animal world, he can never know his true role on Earth.”

This day was one of the best of my professional career. We talked, texted, or did a procedure weekly for 2 1/2 years. Over this time, he underwent: 176 paracentesis 2 TACE 1 port placement 1 TIPS and 2 portal thrombectomy By the end of the first year, I had lost all objectivity. He had become like family. Heck, some weeks I saw him more than my own family. My partners and I and our entire #iRad staff had become obsessed with getting him to transplant. My kids even knew the story and asked about him by name. He was admitted exactly 2 weeks prior to this photo in liver failure with encephalopathy - we emergently transferred to our regional transplant center. After 11 hours of surgery and only 11 days inpatient recovery he convinced the transplant surgery team to let him finish his recovery at home. And that very day he came walking into our clinic. I share this story (with permission) to remind those of us who are out in the community practicing interventional oncology, that we have a tremendous opportunity to impact the lives of our patients with #LiverCancer. And that that getting emotionally invested in your patients is not something to be avoided. Keep fighting and working on behalf of your patients. Wins like this don’t come easy, but they are incredible when they do.
