        Belgium-born Daniel M. Thys, MD relates stories including his high school studies and what drew him to medicine and away from engineering, his time in the Belgium Navy, how he was introduced to anesthesiologists, and why he came to the U.S. and restated his training at Mount Sinai in 1976, how he went to Columbia Presbyterian for a cardiac fellowship then moved to St. Luke’s-Roosevelt, eventually becoming Director of the Cardiac Anesthesia program at Mount Sinai. He makes some observations about the merger of St. Luke’s and Roosevelt Hospitals, the disposition of the School of Nurse Anesthesia, what he does in his downtime and professional associations he belongs to, and his experiences writing a text book.
