Look regardless of the temperature outside, the UK’s public sector radiator infrastructure has been switched back on because it’s October and can’t be switched of again until April without unleashing a terrible ancient curse. Sorry about that.

'Catoptrum microcosmicum', later translated as 'survey of the microcosm', from 1619 is the 'blockbuster' of anatomical flap books. Its creator, German physician and anatomist Johann Remmelin most likely created it to help medical students explore the inner workings of the human…

I always state my job before I give a talk. Here’s why. A lovely surgeon just complimented me on 2 technical talks I gave at EACTS this morning on surgical mitral repair saying, “You talk like a surgeon. Are you a surgeon?”

🤣
(For anyone wondering, I’m a surgeon)

Thankful 🙏 for my ostomy... Without it I wouldn’t be alive to experience all the joy life has to offer and this amazing world 🌎 we live in!

38th Annual Meeting of EACTS

And the mission is clear: NAVIGATING NEW HORIZONS

See you all in Lisboa! 👋

Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture.

The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.

But no.

Mead said that the first sign of civilization in…

It’s been an incredible meeting! Many thanks to everybody that attended the Learning lab, to the support from industry and also to the great team behind the scenes at EACTS that make it all happen. See you in Lisbon 2024!

Over the last few days almost 5000 people from 99 countries came together to help raise the bar in cardiothoracic surgery.

We can't thank you enough for your support throughout #EACTS2023 and we look forward to seeing you next year in Lisbon for #EACTS2024 ! 👋 🇵🇹

This great video played at the start of some of the sessions. Especially in Vienna, it was apt to draw the parallels between surgery, science, art, craft but especially the orchestra.

I’m going to drown my sorrows now that #EACTS2023 is over by visiting a museum before I ✈️

Thank you for joining us in Vienna to help realise our vision; that with better skills and better surgery, we can deliver better patient outcomes. Together, we raised the bar! 👏 We'd love to hear your feedback. What's been your favourite moment of #EACTS2023 ? 💭

Said it before on here: GPs amaze me

What’s coming through the door? A woman w painful periods? 89yo man w depression? A 2-week old baby w/a runny nose? Teenager w/neck lump? Could it be cancer?
No blood results/imaging

They have to be an expert in everything, an expert in risk

Was a great honour to be part of this speaker panel. Don’t think it is statistically significant but there is a trend, it helps to be called Joseph!! 😂⁦Joe Bavaria, MD⁩ ⁦Joe Sabik⁩ #joerules !
