Welcome to the SAGES Stories Podcast!
In episode 14, we talk to surgical educator extraordinaire, SAGES past president from 2002-2003, and one of the best human beings on the planet: Dr. Bruce Schirmer!
Your hosts Shirin Towfigh, MD and Kevin El Hayek, MD talk to Dr. Schirmer about HPB and the early partnerships between SAGES and the AHPBA, the early days of laparoscopy and endoscopy as he experienced them, and one of the most unfortunate/infamous SAGES Stories of all time.
