Welcome to the Zach Highley Show, where we discuss personal growth and medicine to figure out how to improve our lives. My name is Zach and I’m a medical student, and soon to be physician, in Philadelphia. Throughout these episodes I’ll interview top performers from around the world in business, life, and medicine in hopes of extracting the resources and techniques they use to get to the top.
The best way to help the show is share episodes on any platform. If you think a friend or family member will like a certain episode, send it to them!
Like talking to a Nobel Laureate 🥰 So happy for you🤩
He speaks with such certainty. Best guest so far for the values this brings me and I’m not even in medical field. Thanks, Zach.
Definitely one of the top guests, agreed.
Incredible master of surgery and HPB surgery. I use the John Hopkins techniques in my pancreas surgical techniques and have been trained that have worked by this incredible surgeon Dr Yeo

Real life Dr House
As a Canadian who's applying to medical school, your conversation, Zach, with Dr. Yeo will stick with me for the rest of my career. Thanks and congratulations to you for starting this podcast and thanks to Dr. Yeo for sharing his wisdom with us all!
Jefferson will reach its 200th anniversary next year. As you may know, Dr. Gross succeeded Dr. Thomas Dent Mutter as Professor of Surgery. Dr. Mutter brought plastic and reconstructive surgery to the USA. I believe he was a student of Dupuytren among others.
I met a man who was apparently cured of CA of the head of the pancreas with a Whipple procedure performed in the early 1960s by Dr. Frederick B. Wagner, Jr., the Ossler Professor of Surgery at Jefferson. Jefferson has a very long and storied history of excellence in surgery.
Good afternoon Dr Yeo your interview with Zac Highley has me flummoxed in a good way. It's Christmas 🎄 Eve tomorrow and sitting relaxing, while preparing all sorts. Pausing, then listening at the best part
of my day. To 2 very intellectual men. The parrying was interesting. Very polite. Drawing my breathe
at the commitment levels. Thank you for revealing the human side of being a doctor...very important titled
person. Broadly commenting the people of the USA 🇺🇸 are in safe hands including the rest of the world 🌎.
Another brilliant episode!
Thank you, he was a great guest!
Amazing interview Zach. Thank you
That Cadillac RV story is wild.
One of my favorite interviews of all time. Incredibly motivating. Would love if you could speak with Dr. Yeo again about if the sacrifice he made in his early career were worth the success he has achieved and the difference he has made. What an incredible surgeon and human being!
