This World Shared Practice Forum will differ from our typical World Shared Practice Forums. This video is the first installment of our "History of Medicine" series in which we will be discussing the history of modern medicine with experts from around the globe. Unlike most World Shared Practice Forums, there will be no discussion questions during this video. However, if you would like to ask a question or leave a comment, please feel free to do so at any time. Thank you, and we hope you enjoy this video. I'm Dr. Jeff Burns, Chief of Critical Care at Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School. And we're very pleased to have with us today Dr. Aldo Castaneda. Dr. Castaneda was, for 20 years, the William Ladd Professor of Surgery here at Boston Children's Hospital, and also the Surgeon-in-Chief during that time. For the past 15 years, Dr. Castaneda has developed and lead a clinic for cardiovascular surgery of children in Guatemala and Central America. Dr. Castaneda, it's a privilege to have you with us today. Thank you. I wonder if I could begin by asking you about your career. Many of my colleagues around the world would be very interested to know what were the influences that guided you through your career, what brought about these changes. And I know in particular that you trained and went to medical school in Guatemala, but then found yourself doing surgery in Minnesota. And I wonder if we could talk about that transition, what drew you to Minnesota, and really the start of your surgical career. Well, as a medical student, I was aware that the heart was the only organ that had not been accessible to surgery. I mean, I was interested in surgery in general. And I receive the "New England Journal of Medicine" at the time as a medical student.
