Dr. Douglas Wirthlin, right, a vascular surgeon, jokes at LDS Hospital with retired tulip farmer Klaas Buijsman and Buijsman's wife, Ineke, on Thursday while trying on a pair of Dutch wooden shoes. Wirthlin performed the complicated surgery on Buijsman in 2006 that saved his life after the Dutch tourist was diagnosed with an infected, ruptured thoracic aortic aneurysm.
