One, two, three.

Skim it, face it.

Yeah.

Hey everyone, Dr. Z. Welcome to the Z.com D show.

Today I have my friend and special guest, Dr. Abraham Vargis.

Welcome back to the show, Abraham.

Thank you for having me.

So Abraham is a professor of medicine at Stanford

and author of several books including Cutting for Stone,

which is in my opinion, one of the great syntheses.

Is that the plural of synthesis?

I think so.

Of medicine, art, humanity, and your own kind of biographical details.

And so it's just great to have you back on the show.

We talked one back, call your to it two ago, right?

It's been a while in my house.

And this is a lovely to be in your studio.

So I had to repay the favor.

It's like an Indian thing.

It's like you come to my house, I go to your house.

And I love your bow tie because it reminds me so much of you.

Well, you know, I was hoping that your listeners wouldn't be confused, you know,
