I think Doctor's should make people who are at a higher risk for blocked arteries aware of having an ultrasound done on them. Since I am a smoker, I asked my pcp to refer me for an ultrasound on my carotid artery. I found that it was severely blocked. I had the surgery, and while doing so they checked my legs and my right leg had two major blockages. While doing my leg they did an ultrasound of my groin area. I found out that my iliac arteries on both sides were pretty blocked also. I just recently had both iliac arteries done and have never felt better. I could not walk a city block before the surgeries as the side of my butt cheeks severely hurt. In my leg, I would have thigh and calf pain. I just had my last iliac artery done a week ago and can walk for the 1st time pain free in over 3yrs. I think anyone who is at risk needs to be checked. Thank god for vascular surgery, I feel like I have gotten my life back.
My father was a Vascular surgeon in NJ. He was an amazing doctor but I never saw him growing up. It’s a massive sacrifice to make if you have a family but I’m sure he saved many lives.

As a Certified Surgical Technologist, vascular cases were my absolute favorite. It's an incredibly rewarding specialty.

He was not just a vascular surgeon. Bob Hobson was a great vascular surgeon and highly regarded in our field
Dr. Lutchman from Salerno Medical in East Orange does great work!
They are so inspiring.
Lol, work-life balance? What the heck you guys talking about?!
