Great documentary …. it would be nice to continue this documentary series where you visit a different surgeon/practice each time ..
thanks
I think you are on to something that would be really interesting. To create similar “day in the life of docs” for other experienced surgeons in different practice environments around the world. No private jet needed.
nicely done guys. I really enjoyed it. Cerf, keep up the great work. Marc
