Performing a Family Member’s Cataract Surgery

Sebastian Heersink, MD, joins to contribute to this season’s theme of surgical horror stories. He talks with Blake Williamson, MD, MPH, and Gary Wörtz, MD, about his experience performing cataract surgery on his father and former guest of the podcast, Marnix Heersink, MD. Dr. Sebastian Heersink recounts how he managed the stress of operating on a family member, and how he approached a less-than-perfect result when the lens was slightly decentered on postop day 1, avoiding a potential horror story. He also discusses how he calms unhappy patients by validating their concerns and putting them at ease before surgery.
