      <image:title>Blog - Valuing Life Over Profit</image:title>
      <image:caption>When I was a fellow and therapeutic endoscopy at the University of Hamburg Department of surgery, I observed that one of the problems was with regard to a piece of equipment known as a papillotome. This is a small plastic Teflon tube in which a wire is inserted that is electrified and then after being passed through a 3 foot endoscope would allow us to cut open a small sphincter muscle less than the size of a small pencil eraser. This would be only after being able to insert the tube into a tiny are opening the size of the head of a pin. Anatomically it was essential that this wire be oriented in a 12 o’clock position to avoid cutting blood vessels causing bleeding, cutting through the wall causing perforation or cutting into an adjacent organ known as the pancreas causing pancreatitis.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Luck is Where Opportunity Meets Preparation</image:title>
      <image:caption>With success comes a degree of scrutiny and observation, some of that will be positive and some negative, on more than one occasion my success was a result of luck, or literally being the proverbial right person in the right place at the right time.</image:caption>
