Thank you for your service and sacrifice. Most of all a big thank you to the families. Every day is a good day to thank veterans. God Bless Them! I am fortunate to cross paths with many a veteran in my career and thankful to be able to serve them in some way. #VeteransDay

Presentation of a true-emergent para-hiatal hernia. Seen here is the herniation of the majority of of the stomach into a diaphragmatic defect lateral to a (recurrent) paraesophageal hernia. Para-hiatals have no hernia sac making reduction more challenging #MedTwitter #foregut
