Gabi,
I had the pleasure to have had Prasanna 2 weeks at home in Leipzig (during
December 2007).
1. He cooks excellent Indian style, vegetarian.
2. He does not drink alcohol, (it was cheaper for me, and I had to be
abstinent too these days!)
3. He took my PC and never gave up, also in my office, always writing to the
HSF
4. At 6 O'clock, when I got up, he had already made coffee!
5. When Fred was operating a Mitral MIC, and there were many big visitors
like Hal, he could filtrate under them and look better through the incision.

A real character!

Roberto

Gabi,
  Believe it or not, Prasanna is real.  I had the pleasure of meeting him in
Leipzig.  Great guy.

> Please note that the aorta cannulation is "doeable". This is code for
limited access. In many alternative incisions the proximals (if used, Don)
can be a bigger problem than the distals. An inadvertent problem with the
aorta can exact a high price. Ability to extend the incision is a real plus,
but may not be worth the trip (to India). On the other hand having Prasanna
be your surgeon may be worth some bumps in the road. He was not advertising
for CAB, however, or so it seems..

No, he wasn't advertising.    Has it come to that?  ;)
I'd like to meet Prasanna sometime.  I have a suspicion that he is a fake.
He is probably 4 people running under one name.  Some fantastic dad, CV
surgeon, computer nerd and cat fancier....all of them functioning extremely
well full time.
