Matt Albert talks TAMIS, stress, travel, choices, fishing and what might be next

from Surgeons’ Lives - Stuff that Matters · host John Monson

This is a very special episode of #Surgeonslives #Stuffthatmatters Matt Albert is one of the best known colorectal surgeons worldwide. A florida boy through and through he truly hit the big time with TAMIS which he co-invented but popularized around the world. Always moving at maximum speed in everything he does he is a truly accomplished technical surgeon, a gifted teacher and a powerhouse of an intellect. I think he probably qualifies as a polymath being a single-fiber handicap golfer, deep sea fisherman, innovator and inventor was well as being an exceptional surgeon. However, all of that comes with a cost for any person and Matt is no different in that regard. He has learnt the lessons of stress management over many years and sometimes the hard way. In this interview, we cover some of those aspects of his life journey, the need for having fun to decompress and the benefits of engaging in therapy - "everyone needs a therapist" as he says.
