On this episode of Advances in Care , host Erin Welsh and Dr. Craig Smith, Chair of the Department of Surgery and Surgeon-in-Chief at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia discuss the highlights of Dr. Smith’s 40+ year career as a cardiac surgeon and how the culture of Columbia has been a catalyst for innovation in cardiac care. Dr. Smith describes the excitement of helping to pioneer the institution’s heart transplant program in the 1980s, when it was just one of only three hospitals in the country practicing heart transplantation. Dr. Smith also explains how a unique collaboration with Columbia’s cardiology team led to the first of several groundbreaking trials, called PARTNER (Placement of AoRTic TraNscatheteR Valve), which paved the way for a monumental treatment for aortic stenosis — the most common heart valve disease that is lethal if left untreated. During the trial, Dr. Smith worked closely with Dr. Martin B. Leon, Professor of Medicine at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and Chief Innovation Officer and the Director of the Cardiovascular Data Science Center for the Division of Cardiology. Their findings elevated TAVR, or transcatheter aortic valve replacement, to eventually become the gold-standard for aortic stenosis patients at all levels of illness severity and surgical risk. Today, an experienced team of specialists at Columbia treat TAVR patients with a combination of advancements including advanced replacement valve materials, three-dimensional and ECG imaging, and a personalized approach to cardiac care. Finally, Dr. Smith shares his thoughts on new frontiers of cardiac surgery, like the challenge of repairing the mitral and tricuspid valves, and the promising application of robotic surgery for complex, high-risk operations. He reflects on life after he retires from operating, and shares his observations of how NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia have evolved in the decades since he began his residency.

Drawing from Stoic philosophy and modern psychology, we cover: Why ancient Stoics emphasized handling insults and toxic people. The distinction between caring and caretaking—and why caretaking can harm you. Empathy vs. compassion: understanding the psychological and emotional differences. Communication frameworks like the "I" Model, DEAR MAN, and Nonviolent Communication (NVC). Tools for setting boundaries effectively without escalating conflict. Grey Rock technique: when and how to use it in abusive dynamics. Tactical empathy and the power of tone, labeling, and mirroring for conflict de-escalation. If you've ever struggled with navigating tense relationships, setting boundaries, or balancing compassion without burning out, this episode is packed with insights and actionable advice. Key Takeaways : The Caretaking Trap : Caring is healthy, but overextending yourself to meet others' needs while neglecting your own is not. Learn how to protect your emotional well-being. Empathy vs. Compassion : Empathy can be hijacked and lead to poor decisions. Cultivate compassion instead—a detached yet intentional approach to helping others.

Send us a text In this episode of our series on crafting a Stoic daily routine, we focus on how to build effective work rituals. These rituals are designed to help you find deeper meaning and purpose in whatever form of work you do—whether it’s a formal job, creative endeavor, or a personal project like martial arts. Here are the key highlights from the episode: Episode Notes: 1. Broadening the Definition of Work Work doesn’t have to be limited to a traditional career. We explore how to recognize anything you spend time on and take seriously as your “work”—whether it's drawing, studying martial arts, or any passion project. 2. Pre-Work Ritual: Six Key Points Inspired by John Yates' "The Mind Illuminated," we dive into a six-step preparation ritual that helps set the stage for a successful work session. Key elements include defining your motivation, setting specific goals, acknowledging expectations, committing to diligence, addressing potential distractions, and preparing your work environment. 3. Finding Enjoyment in Your Work We discuss the importance of enjoying the process rather than seeing work as a box to tick off your list. Finding ways to enjoy your work not only makes it more sustainable but also enriches the entire experience. 4. The Power of a Performance Statement Develop a performance statement as an affirmation to keep you on track. For example: “Every time I get distracted, I will make a note of the distraction and return to the task.” This simple tool helps reinforce positive behavior and mindfulness during work. 5. Work as Meditation Applying a meditative mindset to work helps you stay present and focused. Just like mindfulness meditation, when you lose focus, gently redirecting yourself back to the task at hand can transform your productivity and mindset. 6. Post-Work Reflection Reflecting on what went well after each work session is crucial. Focus on three positive outcomes to reinforce growth and keep yourself motivated. 7. Working with Others: The EAR Acronym Good communication during collaboration can be broken down into Empathy, Assertiveness, and Respect (EAR). This simple framework helps improve how you navigate work relationships and difficult dynamics. 8. Premeditation of Adversity Inspired by Marcus Aurelius, we explore the Stoic practice of **premeditating potential obstacles** to remain calm and composed during challenging moments at work. It’s not about being negative but about being prepared Resources Mentioned: John Yates' "The Mind Illuminated"** – The inspiration behind the six-point pre-work ritual.
