Summary:After a two-decade-long battle with cancer, after a life-saving bone marrow transplant from his sister, after a double lung transplant, after marrying his incomparable wife, after the birth of their beautiful daughter, Greg passed away. There is no duplication built into this system, permitting a balance of hospital productivity and unshared case volume on which graduate medical education relies to train future physicians. The body will send proteins and platelets to plug the geyser of blood flow, or, eventually, the body will run out of blood to bleed. [...]in this fragile state, even the tiniest disturbance can “pop the clot”, yet another dictum of surgery that teaches doctors to tolerate a lower blood pressure so as not to disturb a freshly formed blood clot that had stemmed the tides of bleeding.
