Fist Bump for David Luu, MD

I wanted to recognize and thank Dr. David Luu for his hard work and dedication in taking care of our very sick patients. He personally managed care for a patient who was rapidly decompensating, coordinated a procedure with another team and managed the patient throughout the procedure which was late in the day. He is always ready to help, has a great attitude and is a great team player. David, you are awesome. Strong work and thanks for all you do! – Nazish Hashmi, MD

Fist Bump for Susan Morris and Jack Newman

I wanted to acknowledge Susan and Jack's hard work and efforts in organizing the adult cardiac anesthesia fellowship interviews. They embraced the virtual interview season with amazing enthusiasm and helped keep the process and faculty on track. The virtual interview season progressed without any glitches because of them. Great job and thank you for your hard work. - Nazish Hashmi, MD

Fist Bump for Brad Taicher, DO

Major kudos to Brad for staffing the eye center by himself with mostly adult patients. This was an immense help, as it allowed us to facilitate running the schedule in the main ORs. "Taich" is a consummate team player. - Eugene Moretti, MD
