Today, the guys sit down with Dr. Mohammed Al-Temimi, general surgeon specializing in hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery and cancer.  John not only bombed on his scrubs quote, but of course had challenges saying the specialty.  Garrett encouraged John to make a few attempts at trying.

Fortunately, Dr. Al-Temimi is a complete expert and perfect teacher.  They discuss immigrating to America from Iraq, his true care for patients, and robotics surgery.  They review the cancer treatment team involved in cancer care for the liver, pancreas and bile duct (hint, it takes a medical village).  Dr. Al-Temimi also reviews the important role GI plays on the team (and hopefully a future podcast).  And finally, they discuss the whipple procedure and how robotics has advanced the care for this major surgery (bonus points if you remember the scrubs quote). 

It is a great listen and Dr. Al-Temimi takes care to showcase his passion for patients and expertise in the arena.
