What a remarkably chipper performance in the face of such an intimidating procedure. Here's for a quick recovery. If I may add something anecdotal in connection with the mention of the world's first heart transplant performed in Cape Town. That pioneering event turned Dr Christiaan Barnard into something of a rock star in South Africa - but he had received his surgical training in the US where, I was told, much stricter human subject protocols in the US compared to South Africa were a restraint on trying out transplant techniques being developed on human patients. There's likely more to the story but in that perspective, South Africa took the lead because of a laxer regulatory envirnoment.
Dear Mr. Tooze, all the best for surgery and a quick recovery!
Good luck and best wishes on the procedure and follow-up.
My mum got a similar procedure done at 67 (today she is 89). Good luck and best wishes from me too! Get well soon and take your time to truly recover!
Best wishes to Adam, good luck for the upcoming surgery, and look forward to resuming the pod in the new year. Season's greetings to the team.🍀🌲
