Cheryl Burnside
My condolences to Dr Pardue's family. I was Dr Pardue's OR Circulator and recovery nurse in the Thousand Oaks office and was sad to hear he had passed. I was the youngster of the team and always tried to lighten the air with something humorous at the end of surgery. It was halloween and I had found this gliding eyeball you slide across the floor and it moved back and forth in a creepy kind of way. I waited until he ungloved, ungowned to glide it toward him thought I made a big mistake at first when he looked up with those piercing blue eyes and turned to me and started laughing and said where did you find that? He was top notch surgeon and I learned so much from him. RIP Dr Pardue I will never forget you. Cheryl Burnside
