You beat me to it Nathaniel.....
This is very cool and very deserving for our very own Beaumont Miller to be the featured profile on Eric Ku's "Horological Minute".

My only question is - John, do you always navigate the OR with a 5512 on your wrist

Very Happy to see it John !!!! Congrats

My daughter is also a doctor, completing now her specialism for the Dr.

I would prefer her to become a gerontologist, so she takes care of me when I become very old
