I've done an unusual number of mentoring calls this week, and one thing I'd like to remind everyone is, you are enough, and you can't forget how far you've come. You're most likely in the best position you've ever been in to build on top of everything you've done until this point.

For clarification: preop cardiology consultation is not asking for clearance and is not requesting an H&P.
We are asking for recent cardiac testing (Cath, ECHO, EKG), cardiac biomarkers, assessment of their ischemic risk, and evaluation of their valves and ventricular function. #ansky #cardiosky
