>> I think many of the conditions we treat, it's about helping people feel better,
and treating symptoms, and understanding how they want to live and how they live their life.
So I like to take at least a few minutes at the start of a visit when I'm first meeting someone
to understand where they live, who they are, who's around them, what they like to do,
and to understand what we're thinking about and how we're going to make them feel better
and better able to do those things.
Being in a place where you have, you do the same sorts of procedures often,
you build infrastructure, you build routine, and it's the operator, the physician, me,
but also the team that's around me is really important that we're all on the same page
and we operate as a team to help people.
And so having a higher volume come through our institution, all of the systems are in place
to understand how best to get a patient from the waiting room into the office,
into the procedure suite, and now home safely.
You meet someone in the office, and you meet someone in the hospital,
and you know that they're not doing well, but you know that there sometimes is a solution
that we could improve their quality of life and get them back to what they want to be doing.
And it's really, really fun to accomplish that, to get the privilege to help them,
and then see them in clinic afterwards have a great improvement.
It's a lot of fun.
I think people.
I think it really comes down to the people I get to help and the people I get to work with.
I think it's always when you come into a job, or an experience, or school, or whatever it is,
I think we all try to associate with people or find people that we like to be with,
and I think it makes for a fun environment.
I feel really fortunate to be able to help people from a place that's special to me,
as it's where I grew up, but then also be able to and work with some phenomenal people.
So I feel very lucky to be in a place that I have great people to work with.
>> I think we're done.
>> Okay.
>> Yeah. Anything we didn't hit on that you think we should?
>> No, I fumbled the research stuff a little bit, but I don't know--
>> Yeah, don't worry about that.
>> I don't think that's--
>> I mean, we may not even use that.
>> I don't think it's that important.
>> Yeah. I mean--
>> Sometimes it's clear.
There's a procedure that needs to be done, and I think in that instance, it's,
part of my job is to educate as to why we think this really needs to be done.
But oftentimes, there is more than 1 way to approach a problem.
And so that goes back to I think understanding who someone is and trying
to understand what makes that person tick and what drives them,
why they want to feel better or how they want to feel better.
I think that can factor into how we approach our problems.
Should we try medicines, or do they, should we try a more definitive approach,
ablation or a device, right away?
