 I'm Mark Moon. I'm the Chief of the Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Baylor College of Medicine, Chief of Adult Cardiac Surgery at the Texas Heart Institute, and I'm also the Chief of Adult Cardiac Surgery section at Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center. Patient care to me really means caring for the patient, and that is not necessarily just the patient themselves but the patient's family and their needs as well. When a patient gets referred to me, it's not that I'm going to take over the care of the patient. I'm going to work with the primary care physician, I'm going to work with the cardiologist in order to get the best outcome we can for that particular patient and their needs, whatever they may be. And that's not necessarily always surgery. We oftentimes can use lesser invasive or even medical means. For example, with an aneurysm, patients often feel like they have a time bomb in their chest, and we can put them at ease many times without the need for surgical intervention. My personal mission as a surgeon is not necessarily to do surgery in every single patient. I'd say probably the majority of patients who get referred to a surgeon can be treated with lesser invasive means. The ultimate goal is to match the individual patient to an individual treatment that gives them the best long-term outcome.
