What do surgery and helicopter flying have in common? More than you think. š ļøš In this episode of The Interesting MD, Dr. Rob Beck catches up with Dr. Patrick Ryan, a surgeon and helicopter pilot, to explore how aviation became his passionāand how it helps him stay grounded (emotionally) while lifting off (literally).
