Always great to spend time with great friends, thought leaders in the field and former Task Force Committee members of the @ABUrology at the ABU oral exams each year. And then there is @dickenko 😂. @AmerUrological @UF_Urology

As a young and impressionable trainee, I asked Dr. Daggett almost 30 years ago how he had managed to become an ambidextrous surgeon. He scoffed at my admiration of his technique and told me that “cardiac surgery is 90% mental”. He was so right.

Did you do something in the 90s (or earlier) that would have gotten you fired on the spot today? I once wheeled a portable X Ray machine from radiology and took a patient’s CXR myself because it was taking forever for the tech to respond. I even said “X Ray, hold your breath”.
