Keith Lillemoe - A Yankee in Boston

2023-09-03

On paper Keith Lillemoe MD is the Chair of Surgery at Mass Gen Hospital where he has been for 12 years. Before that he was Chairman in Indiana after 29 years in Baltimore where he was a medical student, resident and highly successful HPB surgeon. However, there is much more than that as you will hear during this interview. He is a BIG sports fan and lives under a dark cloud being a life-long Yankee fan in Boston. He even has a seat from Yankee stadium in his office! He met his wife playing baseball...

On paper Keith Lillemoe MD is the Chair of Surgery at Mass Gen Hospital where he has been for 12 years.

Before that he was Chairman in Indiana after 29 years in Baltimore where he was a medical student, resident and highly successful HPB surgeon.

However, there is much more than that as you will hear during this interview. He is a BIG sports fan and lives under a dark cloud being a life-long Yankee fan in Boston. He even has a seat from Yankee stadium in his office!

He met his wife playing baseball and attributes a sports injury to getting his current job - yes he does!! He is still a Ravens season ticket holder, and when not attending sports events he is hunting duck, playing golf and chillin' in Boca, FL.

All pretty impressive for a farm boy from South Dakota from sturdy Norwegian stock.

And let's not forget, long the way, he has been the Editor-in-Chief of the Annals of Surgery for more than a decade. Quite the Dude - and he isn't QUITE ready to retire yet.
