[II-JCKS03] Audacity to challenge pediatric heart diseases over 60 years

Young-Hwan Park (Severance Cardiovascular Hospital, Yonsei University Health System, Korea)

Early 1950’s, in the world many doctors made a huge effort to diagnose the cardiac disease by catheterization, and to treat by surgery. I just think about that time with you.
How many times they repeated their experiments prior to its clinical application
How they worked hard competitively but cooperatively
How they precisely reported their results, even unsuccessful ones.
In the book “the righteous mind” written by Jonathan Haidt, he describes human minds as follows 1) People are more interested in being seen than being truly goodpeople 2) People often deceive others when they are not noticed and there is room for escapism 3) We are not good at questioning our beliefs and finding reasons for them. 4) We finds other people’s errors like knife, on the contrary, they can pinpoint our errors 5) Work immersion and burn out are same.
In the past, doctors blamed each other in the Mortality and Morbidity Conference, and nobody wanted to have responsibility. But now, main treating doctor has primaryresponsibility. He should explain the possible cause of Morbidity and Mortality
I want to conclude my talk with Dr. Song Wan’s comment (HongKong)
“ Through the continued perseverance, dedication, and hard work of many individualsworking together, the evolution of cardiovascular surgery is still ongoing with the expectation that this progress will accelerate with improvement in the country’s economy. However, we should never forget it was the bold ventures of those pioneers thatbrought us to where we are today.
