Klaus Peter Rentrop is a highly regarded cardiologist whose pioneering work has significantly advanced the field of cardiovascular medicine. Two significant milestones in 2023 underscore his lasting impact: the 45th anniversary of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), which he first performed in 1978, and the 30th anniversary of the American Society for Nuclear Cardiology, which he helped establish in 1993. These achievements reflect his exceptional contributions to treating and managing heart disease.
Originally from Cologne, Germany, Dr. Klaus P. Rentrop now calls New York home. His academic journey took him through leading institutions in Germany and the United States, where he completed a Cardiology Fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic in 1973. This experience laid the foundation for career-defining groundbreaking cardiology advancements.
Klaus Peter Rentrop MD's most notable achievement was the introduction of PCI in 1978. This minimally invasive procedure revolutionized the treatment of heart attacks by allowing physicians to open blocked coronary arteries with a catheter, dramatically improving survival rates and recovery times. In 1979, he further contributed to the field by demonstrating the effectiveness of thrombolytic therapy for treating acute myocardial infarction, which also played a significant role in enhancing heart attack care.
In 1985, Klaus P. Rentrop developed the Rentrop Collateral Classification, a system for assessing collateral circulation in the heart. This system has become an essential tool in diagnosing and treating coronary artery disease, helping healthcare professionals better understand the severity of blockages and make more informed decisions about patient care.

DR LANCE THE NEUROSURGEON
Dr. Lance Ross was a man whose name alone carried weight. As the world's most sought-after neurosurgeon, his reputation transcended borders. Patients from all walks of life-politicians, celebrities, tech moguls, and even royalty-sought his expertise. His calendar was booked months, sometimes years, in advance, and yet he always managed to carve out time to perform pro bono surgeries for patients in desperate need. It wasn't just his skill with a scalpel that earned admiration; it was his humility, his heart, and his tireless dedication to saving lives. Lance father, Dr. Luke Ross, was a living legend himself. Growing up in his father's shadow, Liam never saw it as a burden but as an inspiration. Together, the father-and-son duo redefined medical excellence, often performing surgeries so intricate that others deemed them impossible. Despite his achievements, Liam remained grounded, donating a significant portion of his salary to fund surgeries for the less fortunate. But while his professional life flourished, Lance personal life was a barren landscape. His twin sister, Lorraine, often teased him about it. "You're the best in the world at fixing brains," Lorraine would say, "but you're clueless when it comes to matters of the heart." Lance would laugh it off, brushing aside her remarks. Between his relentless schedule and his own self-imposed barriers, he'd convinced himself that love was a luxury he couldn't afford. Relationships required time, emotional availability-two things he didn't have.Complete

Wealth
Almost everyone on the planet is five times wealthier than their ancestors only 50 years ago. This astonishing phenomenon has also improved health, education, and longevity. The average life span increased from about 40 years to more than 80 and the average world income from less than $3 to more than $33 per person per day (and to $140 per day in some countries). The cause; an explosive growth in ideas and productivity. Of all work in 1850, 80% no longer exists. Think of electricity, railways, automobiles, aircraft, satellites, radio, telephones, cell (mobile) phones, TV, computers, the Internet and nuclear power. Today, each farmer in the USA feeds 300 people whereas 200 years ago 4 out of 5 Americans worked in agriculture. In 1900 farm workers were still 40% of the work force; while in 2016 they were less than 2%. Bill Gates and Paul Allen started the Microsoft Corporation in 1975 thereby creating three billionaires and about 12,000 millionaires among Microsoft employees. $1000 worth of Microsoft (MSFT) shares in 1986 were worth $2,800,000 in 2025. In 2016, shares of Nvidia (NVDA) were $1.32 adjusted for stock splits. In 2025 one share could be sold for $170. A $1000 investment in 2016 would have returned about $129,000 in 2025. Okay, so how do you start GETTING RICH? It is very simple. Few of us have the talent or tenacity to start a new business, but now it is easy to buy publicly traded shares of businesses that grow steadily and create wealth in the process. You might as well buy a small share and watch it grow. Get rich slowly by investing a regular amount of your income in a diverse range of companies and re-investing all interest, dividends and capital gains and holding for many years. You will first need to choose an on-line stock broker and set up an account. They all operate much like banks as they are legally required to know their clients and must report to government tax collectors on any income to your account.
