Super excited to work with Vivo Surgery and trust me, it is one of the best ways to see inside the operating room virtually :)

People like this deserve the acclaim and respect that so called “celebrity’s” get. This guy is a real star

[mmichy]

Man….just the words “trauma surgeon” gives me stress lol. But he lives it every day! We are so lucky to have smart, capable people like him helping us in our most terrifying moments.

[jkramer]

I shadowed him my senior year in high school at the UofA for a project and got to watch him work and operate and he was a gracious host and great teacher.

[johndaltrocanto]

2 minutes into this and I can feel my motivation come back, med school is hard people, but NEVER give up

[zoilalulu]

He's so amazing to listen to. Very intelligent man and his positions on things are on point.

[kyunbhai]

Having been through a minor trauma surgery myself, I really appreciate how these guys work. The pressure they are under in real time is mind boggling at times.

[caseymay]

It’s so admirable how knowledgeable and caring this man seems wow. Did not leave any questions unanswered, whether asked or wondered about

[nelfi]

His ADHD kicked in when he was talking about personal freedom and balance, having his extra degree in injury prevention…he forgot the question ❤️🤗I love it…I love being surrounded by amazing people like him, I just learn so much. I have adhd combined myself and I’m a future CRNA❤️💪🏼🫶🏻🙏🏼 Ty for what you do and Ty for sharing

[juliearmymom]

He is right in saying that Oncology is brutal. My daughter loses most of her patients, sadly. I was worried it would destroy her mentally, but she uses it to drive her. The first patient she really got close to and lost was incredibly painful. She was desperate to help her. They say you only die when people don't remember you any longer, we still remember her and use her fantastic recipes often.

[amberlawson]

I was waiting for trauma surgery!! This is incredible thank you!

[poundteamlightskin]

Loved this interview. He's so passionate about his career and well spoken.

[elizabethcronsell]

I was immediately intrigued by perspectives shared within the first few minutes. This one just didn't disappoint. Thank you to both of you for this incredible video!

[magnoliatree]

Loved when he talked about his wife’s perspective on his work. As women going into the medical field who would still love children, that’s important to take into consideration.

[shortyd]

Dr. O'Keeffe listens to trance music in the OR!! I never thought i would hear a surgeon say they like to listen to trance while operating! He my new favorite Dr.!

[Am]

He seems to be a caring doctor who loves his job! I loved this interview!

[elizabethlizbeth]

This was so great! I have been looking forward to a video with a trauma surgeon! He is very eloquent and seems like a really cool person. Keep up the great content Andy!! :)

[ashaali]

I loved hearing about trauma surgery. I think it's important to have a work life balance especially with a career as demanding as this.

[linnsoltwedel]

Wow. This seems like a very wise and good doctor. I agree with him so much, I dont understand people driving motorcycles without a helmet.

[HeavyProfessor]

Very well spoken and interesting person. The story he tells at 12:25 is something I first experienced as a medical student, really seeing a patient recover in an amazing way. I will never forget and still tell the story. It continues to happen and never gets old.
