Most of you know me from Faith Fitness and About, but this is the other side of my life. By day, I'm a structural heart clinical specialist, and today I got to help film a cardiothoracic surgeon who's joining TikTok. One of the things I respect most about him is that he genuinely wants to teach the next generation. Medicine changes because people are willing to share what they've learned, and I believe we have so much to learn from those who've spent decades in the OR. If you love medicine, surgery, or thinking about a career in healthcare, go give @stillbeating a follow. I think you're really going to enjoy what he's going to share.
