Hi Dr Lee! You did a double bypass on me on 12/11/2020 other then a little rib cage pain I feel great! I can walk over 2 miles without feeling wiped out. I can't wait to start riding my Bike! Have a Great Day and People don't be afraid, I am 53 and feeling great again!

What were your symptoms prior to you finding out you need bypass. I'm 53 and don't have any symptoms yet but with modern technology, nice to find out before having a major heart attack. Your doing great 2 months post op...Congrats

I'm upset over him saying that if he was a different race he'd be bragging about his possessions. That's essentially saying that him being humble is because he's asian and not because he's a genuinely nice person, which is not only racist towards caucasians but also heavily offensive to the doctor, saying he's only that way due to his race.

[@smellypatel5272]

LoL... yeah. 100 years ago and back NOTHING was "sterile" according to current terms and regulations. You know they used to have vats of morphine, dip a rag in, wash the wound and if you didn't die, well... that's great! Or pregnancies were 50/50, you live or you die. Cleaning has been the same since you had something to clean.

I can't believe how humble the surgeon is. God bless you sir and your team! no amount of thank you can express gratitude

I’m a professional historian. Once a friend of mine asked me what time I would live in if I could live at any time in history. I answered “Right now!” This is why.

Great work Dr. Lee and thank you for acknowledging the effort of the rest of the team.

This guy talks about fixing hearts like he is changing break pads on a pushbike. What a professional.

so much education and extreme hard work and study... my respects to these ladies and gentlemen that do their best to heal us from our pain and wounds

What a humble surgeon you are Dr.Lee, claiming (only) 10-15% of the operation's success rate. Congratulations to your awesome team!

[@wallamboklahong9125]

God is Great, He loved His own Sons and Daughters, May God Jesus Christ bless our Loving Dr. Brothers and Dr. Sisters, may He guide and help you in your endeavours to help the 'needy and helpless friends'. Thank you all.

It feels great when awesome doctors like him, recognize that’s it’s never only their glory and their work that need to be congratulated. Anesthesiologists doctors and their fellow nurses, Us, the nurses in the General ICU, the heart surgeons. Everyone needs to be congratulated 😊 It’s a team work and that’s why I love it.
