first season.

Atul F. Kamath (01:22):
I think the fundamentals for the young
surgeon, just keep an open mind,think creatively, think
differently, and then justexpose yourself out there to
different philosophies ortechniques.
I think it's I think that'sprobably the best advice I could
give.

Juan C. Suarez (01:35):
But I think that the thing that I'm most drawn to
in what we do is innovation.
I love that part of it.
I love to work with smarterpeople than myself.
And how they think and how theypush the envelope and that to me
is that to me is fascinating.

Joseph M. Schwab (01:52):
So is it going to give you an extra 10 years on
your practice?
Do you think?

Brian Gladnick (01:55):
I hope so.
I'm going to, my, plan is towork until I drop dead.
So that's the,

Joseph M. Schwab (02:00):
Hopefully not anytime soon.

Charles M. Lawrie (02:02):
There was this aha moment at the end of
the procedure where, you takeall the retractors out and the
tensor muscle belly falls backwhere it should be.
And the skin closes togethernicely, and it just felt so much
more anatomic and so much lessinvasive

Neil P. Sheth (02:18):
I realized in that instant.
Everyone has the best intention,but maybe what we're doing today
is not the right model.
We got to do somethingdifferent, right?
