Elizabeth Smart Book Event at the College of DuPage's McAninch Art Center in Glen Ellyn, IL. An inspiring evening as Elizabeth Smart shared her powerful story and insights with the audience.

One of the perks of covering a medical conference is getting a front-row seat to the latest cutting-edge advancements in healthcare. It’s always fascinating to see the innovations that are shaping the future of medicine. Recently, I had the chance to witness something pretty unique: a demonstration involving a cadaver, used to showcase a new surgical tool.

Now, while I can't dive into the technical details (and honestly, I might not even understand them all!), there’s something undeniably cool about watching medical professionals at work up close. The precision, the focus—it’s a different kind of artistry. You can feel the gravity of the moment as they introduce technology that could potentially change lives.

It’s moments like these that remind me why I love what I do. I get to be in the room for these incredible events, capturing the energy and progress that comes with each new breakthrough. Even when I can’t share all the specifics, it’s still exciting to be part of documenting these milestones in the medical field.
