Visit from my Stony Brook Chief Surgery Residents

Had a great visit from my former Stony Brook Surgery chief residents, Syed Abbas, Ahmed Nasser, Lily Hsieh, Andrew Peredo, Spiro Pagkratis, and Patrick Hartendorp at my house tonight. They were in Chicago for the American College of Surgeons Clinical Congress. They even brought my favorite meal, Harold's Fried Chicken!

  1. Awesome group! (And impressive that your residents got oriented to Chicago so quickly that they brought Harold's Chicken!)

    Cheers

  2. It was our pleasure to visit one of our role models! You've spent countless hours in the OR teaching us and training us to become surgeons. This is the very least we can do! Plus...the fried chicken and herbal tea were delicious!!

  3. I need to add Dhavel Patel who also joined this group. As a matter of fact, he may have paid for the Harold's. Dhavel is a graduate of Stony Brook Surgery Residency. He is an endocrine surgeon at NCI presently.

    1. Hi Gary, thank you for the well wishes. Still trying to convince my family that Harold's is an acquired taste!
