Behind the knife, the Surgery Podcast, where we take a behind the scenes intimate look at surgery

from leaders in the field. Welcome back to Behind the Knives Absight Review. Today's episode probably excites the few of

you that are future endocrine surgeons and the rest of us just have to suck it up and

relearn adrenal every year so I think this is a quick review

that will kind of get you there and once again please go check out our book on Amazon

the Behind the Knife Absite Companion all the proceeds go to making behind the knife better.

And if you feel that behind the knife has made your life slightly better as a surgery resident,

helped you study, helped you learn about different specialties and meet leaders in the field.

Any of these things, the way you can help us is by giving us reviews,

whether it's on Amazon for the book, whether it's on

on iTunes these things really help keep us at the top of the charts and keep people coming back and learning more and which helps us keep creating great content.
