Dr. Diethrich's Story
Compelling video testimony from Dr. Edward Diethrich (1935 to 2017), world-renowned Cardiovascular Surgeon and dedicated pioneer in the Endovascular field, whose incredible career of selflessly caring for patients is an example of medical professionalism and service at its finest. His tragic death from prolonged occupational radiation exposure serves as a valuable lesson to prioritize our own safety as we provide care.
