See August 2019 Issue of The Ophthalmic ASC
The August 2019 issue of The Ophthalmic ASC begins with an end. Chief Medical Editor William J. Fishkind, MD, FASC, bids farewell, passing the baton to new Co-Medical Editors, Cathleen McCabe, MD, and Mark Kontos, MD, and reflects on the inscription found on a famous sculpture by Gary Lee Price: “Those who climb highest lift as they go.” These words have fueled Dr. Fishkind’s career, encouraging him to life the quality of patient care in the operating room as a medical educator and author, and in the editor’s chair. As new, highly qualified editors step in, Dr. Fishkind confidently assures the ophthalmic surgical care community that the publication will continue to offer fresh, innovative, and uplifting content.
This month, explore ways to “climb higher,” to improve patient care and ASC performance:
