Duke Colleagues
Robert M. Califf, MD: Hello. I am Rob Califf from Duke University, and I want to welcome you to this new episode of the Life and Times of Cardiologists. We are here with theheart.org on Medscape, and I am with my friend, Magnus Ohman. Magnus is also at Duke and has been there for quite a while, with a few escapades in other places.
Our goal for this series is to provide inspiration about what makes people tick who have accomplished things in their careers as cardiologists, and to understand where they came from and what they plan to do in the future. Welcome, Magnus.
E. Magnus Ohman, MD: Thank you, Rob.
Dr. Califf: Magnus, what was your early life like? What kind of a household did you grow up in?
Dr. Ohman: I am an only child, although I wasn't destined to be. Unfortunately, my mother had 2 stillbirths and I was in the middle, and so I led a somewhat protected life, as you can imagine. My mother was a stay-at-home mom (although later she started working), and my father was in the clothing business. It was a family business for about 60 years, and I was destined to follow if I hadn't gone down the medicine route.
