I'm Dr. James Eason. I'm the Chief of Transplantation at HCA Florida Largo Hospital. The types of patients that come to me is a variety based on liver disease, kidney disease, and pancreatic disease. I primarily do liver transplantation and kidney transplants, and I do hepatobiliary pancreatic surgery, which means any type of complex surgery related to the liver, to the pancreas, and to the biliary trade, to the bile ducts, including the gall bladder. So I take out liver cancers, liver tumors of any kind. Pancreatic tumors, pancreatic cancer and bile duct tumors, as well as usually hepatobiliary and liver transplant surgeons also end up doing more complicated gallbladder surgery patients who may have cirrhosis as or other more complicated patients. I was recruited here because of my reputation as a program builder. I previously built the program at the Ochsner Clinic in New Orleans and turned it into one of the largest programs in the United States. Also the program at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis and turned it into one of the largest transplant programs in the United States. We bring now this complex care, complex surgery complex transplant care to Pinellas County, which is a very large area, over a million people that really has not been accessible here before. So people don't have to drive even across the bay. They don't have to go too far away, bigger cities to get this complex care because we provide it right here. And along with my partners, we expect that we will become one of the leading programs in the United States again. Everyone we see, we look at as a potential patient and we're going to be very aggressive in trying to make sure that we can address all of their medical needs to have them a successful operation, a successful transplant and or successful removal of their cancer. It may involve evaluating their heart and other parts of their body because everything is interconnected. However, our default is yes, we want to make sure that we give everyone the opportunity.
