Attended the monthly thoracic surgery meeting led by Dr. Juan Carlos Garzon yesterday for case discussions.. Several interesting cases presented.  More importantly, I met and set up interviews with the last few thoracic surgeons; Dr. Beltran and Dr. Rodolfo Barrios (that I hadn’t met previously).  Should be an interesting week in the south end of the city..

On the topic of thoracic surgery – I am soliciting articles from thoracic surgeons, and other practitioners on the site – not just here in Bogota, but from around the world as part of the mission of the site.  I’ve already had some great feedback from some American surgeons.

Over at cartagena surgery we are talking about the recent announcement by the International Diabetes Federation on treatment recommendations for diabetes including the endorsement of Bariatric Surgery.
