  1. Robotic & Endoscopic Cardiac

A Day in the Life of a Thoracic Surgeon

  • February 9, 2015

By: Shanda BlackmonSilver Contributor

Keywords:

  • Thoracic
  • Robotic & Endoscopic Cardiac

This video shows a day in the life of a general thoracic surgeon – from making coffee, performing complicated minimally invasive lung surgery, rounding, to then going home to the kids. 

Do you want to see another perspective on the life of a cardiothoracic surgeon? The popular CTSNet video, A Day in a Heart Surgeon’s Life, shows the experience of a cardiac surgeon.

    Great video! Way to go! I had just watched your Pancoast resection video last week. To see the rest of the story is amazing! Thanks for posting it–I hope you inspire more to go into thoracic surgery!

    P.S.–such a nice car, use a lid. Jk!

    Really great work Shanda — what a great message, and I agree entirely! I loved the separate Pancoast video as well. Cheers! -Matt Facktor (Geisinger, Danville, PA).
