Were you always interested in cardiothoracic surgery or did you enter a surgical residency still unsure of what you precisely wanted to do in surgery?

I hate reality shows but HOPKINS is awesome! It's fascinating to "be involved" with the patients and their treatment. Being a medical professional for 40+ years, I can relate to the personal issues that become entwined with a career you love. This is a show that deserves air time. My best to all the the docs. You do a great job!

Hi Dr. Bethea, I am starting OU in the fall and plan on going into the medical field. The road seems very far away and I was wondering what advice you could give me on my journey to become a doctor? I remember you saying that you dad was a surgeon and i was wondering if you ever plan on coming back to the sooner state to work? If so, I am very optimistic about learning and getting hands on experience. What got me interested into the medical field is my injury to my ankle which caused me to come to Baltimore to have a very rare surgery. I love the show and hope all is well.

I am hoping your marriage is still working. It is good to see that the dr half of the couple wants to make it work. My husband, a surgeon, gave up on our marriage and we are currently going through a divorce after 22 years of marriage. Good luck to you and your wife and I hope it continues to get even better.

I just wanted to tell you to hang in there. What you are doing is a very nobel thing with your life. My husband and I struggle as well, having kids is the hardest thing we have ever done. You go through your day torn because you would really rather be with them. My husband is an engineer and travels weeks at a time all over the world. Germany, Ireland and I had to leave my job and stay home because of lack of support and lack of money to put them in day care. It is hard when one feels like the single parent and has to face had things alone. Balence and equality is key. That is how it works. Just a tip: a girl just wants to be shown they are loved and appreciated. Tell her she is sexy, give her flowers, and make a date night with her. She is giving you all the warnings that she is feeling neglected. Her high stress job I am sure doesn't help. If she can just hang in there till you are done with your current assignment, then make the next choice an easier one. Her turn. Life is too short to be unhappy, if it is a continuos thing then maybe you have changed since 7th grade people do. You have a lot to offer a girl and I hope she sees all your awesome qualities as i see them on my T.V. Your empathetic Friend, Julie Behlok

When will Hopkins set up an new episode for neurosurgeons, or at least have them included? I am asking this question because I am a big fan of Dr. Benjamin Carson, Jr., M.D. He was the first Black African-American to separate Siamese twins joined at the brain! I'd like to see his picture soon in the doctor profile.

HOPKINS...are you watching it?
Submitted by: Bonnie Cox, 07/13/2008 12:08:08
I don't tell my son enough HOW PROUD I AM OF HIM!
He is a SENIOR Resident at Johns HOPKINS in Pediatrics.
It takes that show to remind me HOW HARD HE WORKS while juggling a FAMILY, HOME LIFE and FRIENDS. And DAMN, he does a GREAT JOB!
His FAMILY and HOME LIFE are VERY IMPORTANT to him.
He reminded me this week just how much, when he explained he doesn't give a CRAP about how the house looks, whether he lives in a MANSION or a run down townhouse on the outer skirts of Baltimore. Whether his grass is cut or just plain DEAD!
What is IMPORTANT is to TRY and get home at a descent hour to see his FAMILY before he has to try and get some sleep and get back to HOPKINS!
He has ONLY shared one LIFE SAVING STORY with me, and he was just as excited as I was when he was telling it!
I have only met ONE of his patent's family and they PRAISED his work, DEDICATION and KINDNESS.
With all his HARD WORK, LONG HOURS he manages to do it ALL.
BUT NOT WITHOUT HELP!
His LISA is patient, sweet and kind.
And wouldn't she have to be, to be married to a DOCTOR at HOPKINS!
[Have you been watching the show????]
If you don't believe me about HOW PROUD I AM OF ERIC and LISA...
Just go and MEET their son BRADY! -
Was your general surgery residency or your CT fellowship the most demanding or intense aspect of your career? What was more enjoyable?
Submitted by: Vivienne Marsh, 07/13/2008 10:45:33
(For Dr. Conte) How many hours a week do you work as a CT attending? How many hours a week on average do general surgeons work, in other words does it get better after residency, is there a light at the end of the tunnel? Thank for all your hard work and sacrifice spent caring for others.

No question, just comment. I had just recently heard of your program, and had set my alarm to watch the episiode where Earl received his heart transplant. I work as an organ recovery coordinator and was out working for more than 25hrs on a young donor the night before I watched your program. This donor gave 5 people the gift of life, and watching your team, and Earl touched my heart that night. I believe the program has a lot to offer those who watch. My husband does not always understand my long hours, or my love for the work that I do, and it is trying on your home life. I was inspired by your program and will continue to watch- I'm hoping it will help my husband understand why I have this passion for helping others. Thank you for being real, and allowing the public in your doors.

What advice would you give someone who wants to go back to school to become an doctor? I graduated from undergrad a year ago and been doing well in my current job, but there is always a nagging feeling that I should have pursued a medical career. I did not graduate with a biology degree, so I do not know how to start the process. Do I go back to undergrad and fulfill med school requirements or take MCATs and go straight to med school? Any help with be great.

Submitted by: Nancy, 07/12/2008 13:50:38
During the end of the year residency dinner the attending referred to dedication of "surgeons and their wives" but what about surgeons and their husbands; will the show also portray that aspect of medical life? Are there other surgical fields beyond urology, that your female colleagues have pursued in hopes of having a more balanced family life? -
I first want to say that i enjoy watching the show, for me it has been a way to know that the people that saved my life continue to educate and heal more everyday. I was a patient of Dr. Cameron about 8 yrs ago. I was born with aortic stenosis and received a st. judes valve at 28 yrs. I had multiple problems, TIA's, kidney infarctions and so on. When Dr. cameron answered an email that i sent to the hospital it was truely a miricle. eight yrs ago he preformed the Ross procedure on me and i walked out of that hospital knowing that i had been in the hands of an angel. I thank you and your hospital for this daily. My question is...i was just in wake forrest baptist hospital with severe chest pain. I have a burning tearing pain that will not go away. I had a MRI with contrast that showed a leakage of 26%. What does this leakage mean? I am taking a low dose blood pressure medicine that leaves me so drained it is sometimes hard to function. Why would the Dr.'s want my blood pressure so low? I have a lot of questions and need answers. If you have any answers to these questions please let me know. apw36@yahoo.com once again thank you for my life and remember you have been given a great task keep doing a great job people like me need great Dr.s.

For Dr. Bethea, in the latest eposide, it was announced that you and your wife have reconciled, first of all good for the two of you to work through your difficulties to stay together, even other professions have their difficulties with crazy work schedules, this I can contentest to with my husbands busy travel schedules for work.
Submitted by: Vikki, 07/12/2008 10:47:39
My question for you is do you really have to work 80-100 hour work weeks, something you stated during the show when talking with your wife, is this by choice to advance your career or are you really required to work these hours and if so how many more years do you think will be required? I realize patient care is a priority but how do you make your family a priority in that process of caring for your patients. I actually was going into the medical field out of high school and then when my husband and I had our children we decided I would become a full-time mother and put school on the back burner until they were older, finally back in school at 35, do you feel that this may have been a mistake with what you are going through with your own family and the long hours that seem required by a resident or should I have toughed it out and stayed in school?
From what I have seen you are a GREAT doctor, with a great bedside manner which is a blessing for patients to be at ease when seeing you. I just really hope all works out with your family and your career.
Good Luck in reaching your Goals! -
Is there a workplace protocol or any protections for employees if they are physically assaulted by a patient, especially for the psychiatric ward? I would assume that the psych nurse consulted her nursing supervisor before contacting the police. It seemed odd for the series to show a resident publicly belittling the nurse's decision, without the nurse's side of the story.

No question, but a comment: Meaning no offense to the doctors on the show, but this program is terrible. ABC didn't attempt to answer the main question: what makes Hopkins one of the finest medical institutions in the world? Instead, ABC has turned the valuable work done by all at JHH into a soap opera. The operations and procedures they show are nothing special - they're done at lesser hospitals even here in Baltimore. So why not identify and follow the doctors and reseracher who are actually doing cutting edge work? There are so many at JHH, one could trip over them. Yet ABC managed to miss them and their work entirely. Someone asked about Ben Carson - that would have been a great place to START, but there are many others of great significance not shown!
Submitted by: hd, 07/12/2008 07:36:19
Those of you who think this is a great show should develop higher standards and learn more about medicine and the history of Hopkins. You won't learn it from this show.

I really enjoied watching the show and especially Dr.Bethea, and I have a question for him. One year ago I had a double bypass surgery and in a month after that was taking to ER and the doctor said I need an immediate tamponade, which they performed next morning. None of the two thoracic surgeons ever answered my question why didn't they remove the damaged tissue when performing the bypass ?wasn't it obvious?/ so they won't have to open me up again? I still have a big discomfort in this area and still didn't regain my strenghs back. And never did I get a follow up appointment with my second surgeon. How common is it and what shall I do? What is the prognosis? I feel somewhat helpless and really appreciate your response.

I admire each and every one of you for your hard work and dedication to your patients and medicine. I know what a strain it puts on you and your family! May God Bless each of you. A special note to Dr. Bethea, your going to a great hospital, but to bad you didn't move a little further south to Central Texas. Our hospital, Scott & White could use a great surgeon.

I think this is a great show and I'm happy to see the Dr and his wife made up they have a great deal of stress being they both are in the medical field and have lots of pressure on them. I wanted to know how long does an organ last after its been taken out of the donor body and why doesn't the hospital make it easier for transportation of organs to have there own plane so you doctors don't have to go thru the stress of missing a flight and delaying the procedure and something going wrong because of time?

why do they not show more of your wife's side of the story? I realize it is very difficult being a CT fellow, but it is just as difficult to be the spouse running the household and caring for the children. And know matter how much you know beforehand, you can not prepare for the dedication and time fellowship takes.

In "Hopkins," the Doctor seems to be the only member of the health care team that the show focuses on. Doctors are considered to possess the only relevant and useful information pertaining to both the practice of medicine and the well-being of the patient.

In the real world, I volunteer in a hospital where nurses are also key "movers and shakers" in patient care. It is my observation that the recovery of a patient depends on a diverse and integrated health care team. One can forgive, for the sake of drama, misinterpretations of health care delivery on fictional shows like House and Grey's Anatomy. But why, in your opinion, do TV shows continue to perpetuate these misrepresentations of health care delivery, even in what is purported to be a "reality" show? Do you see marginalization of roles occurring in the hospital itself? Do I work in an unusually integrated department where the roles of doctors and nurses are viewed differently, but whose skills and bodies of knowledge are valued similarly?
I would greatly appreciate the thoughts of any of the Doctors (hey, a nurse too, if one is available), not the show’s producers.
Even if this does not get selected for a video response, I’d be interested in hearing from somebody anyway, on this matter…

In the episode that aired last night, you said that one of your patients was manic. She had attacked a nurse, and security and staff were trying to get her back into her room. You started explaining to the security guards that the patient was manic. Then you clarified and said she was psychotic. However, mania and psychoses are different things, as I'm sure you know. Not all manic patients are psychotic. Was your patient, in fact psychotic? Or was that a mistake? (If it was a mistake, I wish they had edited it out because there already are so many stigmas and misconceptions about mental health).

Hopkins is so interesting - I love the approach to show the real lives of all of you. Last year I was a patient there and felt so priveledged to walk through the doors. You all have worked so hard to achieve the level of expertise and it wasn't until I became a patient that I realized that I was entering the arena where only the best surrounded me. You all should be so proud. Dr Bethea I am happy that you have tried to work things out. You are pushed in so many directions - I can see you would need some personal time to settle the mind. Thanks for the best show on TV.

In the field of transplantation - on average, how many are lined up for "take off" when a donor is found? I mean it was an amazing insight to know that there was an abdominal team (going back to a different hospital) and you were there for the heart from JH. Were there teams for the lungs, corneas, etc? Wow.

I have to say I was prepared to hate the show - I personally have several reasons to dislike Hopkins - hard to believe I know - but they are very valid reasons. When my child was diagnosed with Leukemia we chose Sinai over Hopkins. Last night there was little else on TV and I started to watch - and was pleasantly surprised. I am hooked. My father was in hospital finance all his life and a part of Hopkins in the 80's as a consultant - so I have been around hospitals all my life and then some when my child fought ALL. I appreciate the human, off the cuff aspect as well as the medical specifics. My 10 year old is hooked too. Thank you for sharing our passion with the American public!

No question, just comment. I wanted to say how thankful I am to this show airing heart transplantation in kids. My son, Brody, had a heart transplant last summer at the age of 3 months old. I don't think some people, even myself, realize the amazing transformation that happens during the transplantation process. This show was very informative. It was different for me to look at the actual medical side, instead from the bedside as a parent. Organ donation saves lives!

No question, just a comment and response to someone who posted and said a lot of commercials, not much content - there are a lot of things that have been left out. I'm sure there were release forms filled out by the people on air and certain details for privacy didn't go to air to protect the families. It makes sense but reminds viewers to remember that 'real life' TV is still mostly fiction and storytelling. A major network wouldn't air something just for educational purposes it's all about viewership, ratings and money. That's the reality of TV. It's too bad they left out so much because there was a lot more juicy drama they could have exposed and then had better ratings if that's what they were after.

HI! I was a surgical tech at one of the local hospitals here-I was fired 3 months ago because i was called in 1st on my 2nd call shift and had a sitter crisis. I am a single parent of 7yr old twins and could not afford to lose my job. The vp of nursing came up on the floor that night and fired me on the spot claiming I caused "misconduct". They keep appealing my unemployment so I am not receiving any. I saw the episode last night where you were in a jam and brought your two girls in with you and I think you just saved my butt!!

Why don't you show the benefits of the LVAD? My husband had a heart transplant at UPMC presbyterian two years ago. If it had not been for the LVAD he would have died. You made it look like the LVAD was a terrible thing for a possible transplant candidate for transplantation. How do you think Earl was able to get his hair cut prior to his heart transplant? It was because the LVAD afforded him the opportunity to do it. You should take a look at the LVAD program at UPMC. Dr Robert Kormos is very involved with the formation of new and more efficient LVAD's . Thanks God for humble and genius's like him for developing this life saving device.

Some say that patients requiring a transplantation but are living in poverty should not be considered for donor organs. How much do you think socioeconomic issues related to heart transplantation should be considered when assigning recipient status? Equality, with regard to immigration status, has recently become an issue in the political arena. Do you feel that UNOS should also address this issue in it's transplantation policies?

I was wondering how a heart transplant works..Im curious to how u would attach the the heart to all the arteries and valves. Do you use a certain type of stitch? I would think that a normal stitch would let blood come out I'm not sure maybe thats just my simple thinking when it would come to it and relating it to sewing...

In this episode the doctors worry that they may lose the heart when they miss the plane back to Hopkins. After a donor heart is removed from the body how long does the surgical team have to transplant it into the patient before it is no longer usable? As well how long are heart transplant operations normally?

How offen is this type of logistical management SNAFU occurring? With organ donors being one of this nation's rarest citizens, we truly hope this is a one in a thousand event.
Also, we need a programming event to layout the reasons for offering to be an organ donor. Some have reasons not to designate, but let's define and discuss these issues. Hopefully, more will favorably consider becoming organ donors. More and more this will become a larger national issue as we live longer and medical technology makes strides forward. Thanks! -

Dr John, the heart transplant was difficult to watch since it was real and not a movie, but I do appreciate watching the challenges and education that it provides to the viewers on what it takes to be a surgeon. That said, after organs are taking from a donor’s body, what is the procedure or process of how the rest of the cadaver is being disposed or is it used for other research by the Hospital management? I have always wanted to know...

First of all...my brother just went through a heart surgery..he had a mechanical valve placed and an anurysem fixed. My question is Earl was up and moving how soon?? And the last part of the show had him in his room talkin but yet no scare?? I was under the impression this was a reality show. Is this real or not?

Why did I see unrestrained children in the senior residents car when they were driving to that party? I think it was dr. Bethea.

Do you feel that only those in the healthcare profession understand the physical and emotional toll that it places on a person by being in the healthcare arena?

Why don't you just tell the older man in the ED he has cancer? I'm sure he probably asks another healthcare provider if he has cancer.
