E. Stanley Crawford

The first two years in general surgery, a lot of vascular surgery.

I had a chance to work with Dr. Michael DeBakey and Dr. George Noon, Dr. E. Stanley Crawford, a number of the big names in Houston's history of offering cardiovascular care and We would do procedures.

Patients would stay 10 to 14 days.

Now, with enhancements in technology, the ability to replace valves with catheters, patients essentially are having those things done on an outpatient basis with a short period of observation, and they go home.
