There was a vascular/general surgeon I knew in Texas who had a pretty high mortality rate. He was a fine surgeon, even great, but he had some of the sickest MFers you ever saw that he was taking care of. Saw him pull a rabbit out of a hat and save people who you would never guess would live long enough to finish a cup of coffee
He is a Porsche guy too. One of the OR nurses had a son who was dying of cancer, 14 yo kid. She is one of the sweetest ladies I ever met, and her son was every bit as nice as she was. We did this little ceremony where we planted a tree that you could see from the OR lounge. Afterwards, Rich let the kid drive his 911 around the hospital grounds a few times, makes me cry a little just typing about it.
