When your attending gives all 3 fellows @ASTSChimera their first caval anastomosis in liver transplant… you show #appreciation the only way that makes sense: with a bottle of Cava. Because great teaching deserves a sparkling #ThankYou . #Gratitude #surgtwitter

Find a program @ASTSChimera that doesn’t just train you in transplant/HPB but surrounds you with co-fellows who match your energy, your vibe, and your grind.
Blessed to be doing this with the best crew @ClevelandClinic @me4_so
