This is unheard of. At 33 yrs age, @AndrewJSauer was recruited to @KUHospital@UnivOfKansas to co-found & grow an innovative contemporary heart failure, VAD and heart transplant program. 1/4
This week I interviewed him on @PotreroMedical podcast "Hills & Valleys". There was a time that KU had to send all heart transplants out of state. 2/4
Now they are doing more transplants every year and no Kansas resident needs to leave the state for the procedure. Today, KU is showing remarkable numbers with regards to their heart survival rates and outcomes.
But the interview wasn't about accolades. 3/4
It was about vulnerability, courage, and the a part of medicine nobody wants to discuss; the ups and down of professional and family life.
It's an interview that EVERY physician & resident needs to listen to. Follow @PotreroMedical as it will be published in a few weeks

There are 3 topics I am actively thinking about a lot these days:
Topic #1: Persuasion
I am interested in persuasion because it's probably the most powerful skill you could have in the world.
Topic #2: Psychology
I first got interested in psychology over ten years ago when I dropped out of medical school and started as a sales rep at Mazor Robotics, a medtech company.
My late mentor Chris Sells introduced me to it—and since then, I have learned a lot about the importance of observing how people make decisions, what actions they take, and why they did it.
