Pediheart Podcast #247: A Conversation With Living Legend Dr. Welton Gersony

This week we sit down and speak with living legend of pediatric and congenital cardiology, Dr. Welton Gersony who is Professor Emeritus of Pediatrics at Columbia University. Dr. Gersony was the chief of cardiology for 4 decades at NY Presbyterian Hospital and is the winner of innumerable awards in our field. Today we speak with him about his life, choices and what he loved most about medicine and cardiology. What does he view as maybe his biggest impact? What was it like to work directly with/for Dr. Alexander Nadas? What is Dr. Gersony's relationship to the Kennedy family? All this and more in this fascinating discussion with someone who was there for so much of the beginning of our field and who continues to contribute even to this day.
