At  UT-Houston the "bread and butter" thoracic surgery is done by the Trauma  
staff:  VATS, decortications, thoracotomies for acute thoracic  injuries.

The vascular is done primarily by the vascular surgeons...not  out of 
pressure but do to a lack of interest on the part of most of the  staff.  There would 
be no feathers ruffled if I were to repair a  transected SFA due to a GSW to 
the thigh...

Steve:  That is because ALL of your vascular surgeons at UTHSCH and  Memorial 
Hermann Hospital are trained at Baylor College of Medicine and Ben Taub  
General Hospital across the street from you.   They are confident in  their 
ability.
