Our chief @JohnnySuMD who is off to @DukeUrology for @Endo_Society fellowship delivered a stellar talk on hx & physics of ESWL & overview of current technology for stone dz, on par with a SOTA plenary talk (IMHO). 👏 @HMethodistUro @RRGonzalezMD @MonicaMorganMD @hazemelmansy1

Amongst many XLNT lessons from Dr. Melissa Kauffman’s negotiation lecture was a hidden one - I never want to follow her as the next speaker!! She was witty, clever, entertaining, and brilliant while dropping tons of pearls! @SWIUorg @AmerUrological @sufuorg
