101-year-old surgical pioneer still works every day, Dr. George Berci, a Holocaust survivor and a pioneer of surgical technique, is still in the office next door.
Dr. George Berci, Holocaust survivor and surgical pioneer, is a surgeon at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
Part of that is just plain luck; by some combination of genetics, lifestyle and circumstance, certain people age more slowly. And part of it is a reenergizing potion of passion and purpose.But to be perfectly honest, he was not in the best of spirits when we met. The news out of Ukraine was both horrific and haunting, given Berci’s own suffering at the hands of brutal dictators.
When the war ended, Berci picked up the violin he had played since he was a lad and planned a career in music. But his mother waved a finger at that idea. Berci has written dozens of books and scientific papers on all of this. He told me his latest book about the history of biliary surgery — "," co-authored by Dr. Frederick Greene — was a labor of love that involved years of research.
