"Learning never exhausts the mind”: Meet @athenalee Feb 13, 2022 | By Rosemary, Volunteer Mentor (@rosemarya)Comment receiving replies
I am an almost 99-year-old dude who only recently began to receive "Mayo Clinic Connect". This posting was VERY interesting and I was most impressed by the comments made by those who responded to Rosemary's Interview. I also noted that it was only obviously erudite women who posted comments. Perhaps that explains why the majority of those who are now studying medicine are women!

@dubyael, thank you for your insightful comment! 99 hey?! That’s awesome. I’m a liver transplant recipient. My two surgeons were female and my current transplant doctor is female.
If you watch Netflix, check out A Surgeon’s Cut, episode 3. It’s about Dr. Nancy Ascher, the first woman transplant surgeon.
Be well, Athena

Well, you seem pretty enlightened yourself for a 99-year-old dude! ☺️ I’m happy to see you’re enjoying the Mayo Clinic Connect forum and welcome you to the fold. It’s obviously not limited to erudite women, we like to see intelligent men too! 😂
I hope you’ve been able to look around the site at some of the groups that might interest you. There are over 70+ subject groups covering so many health and life issues. Feel free to jump into any conversation and share some of your life experiences and bits of wisdom you’ve garnered over the years.
A fun group just to get started with is Just Want to Talk…it covers myriad conversations where it’s easy to pop into a discussion.

May I ask what led you to Mayo Clinic Connect?
