    I still don't understand how a cardiothoracic surgeon only sees patients and operates one day a week? That's one of the more technically demanding surgical specialities. Practice is required to stay good at it.https://twitter.com/dangaristo/status/1004486559524179968 …

    Regardless, as of 2016, Oz was no longer vice chair of the department, and for many years, he was working one day a week (Thursday) coming in to see and operate on a few patients.

        Yeah, a number of Columbia profs from the medical school I spoke to raised this issue as well. A pity, since Oz was considered to be very talented early in his career.

        Would YOU agree to be operated on by a cardiac surgeon who works just one day a week...?

        I had a boyfriend (a doctor) who was the son of a Cardiothoracic surgeon and let me tell you his father was one of the least tolerable humans I have ever met. Why? Because he was solely focused on being insanely good at what he did. It left no room for niceties.

        it would be interesting for someone to interview some of his patients.

        Exactly. I wouldn’t want a part timer operating on me.

        I have worked with a few CT surgeons nearing retirement that operated 1 or 2 days a week, but they no longer performed CABGs. Pleurodesis, pericardial window, lobectomy, etc. which are much less technically sophisticated, but still dangerously challenging for some, IMO.

        Is he assisting? Maybe just closing and rounding?
