Most embarrassing moment
National Transplant Management Forum presentation in San Diego—right before getting ready to speak to more than 500 people they made an announcement overhead for Kim Phillips that "your mom called and needs to speak with you." She wanted to remind me to give my cousin a call while I was in town.
