I'm so proud of Stanford Surgery and know that our thirteen incoming trainees and future leaders will find a warm, welcome and supportive training environment. Stay strong - what got you here will get you there. The rest is just irrelevant noise. #ifyouknowyouknow

I’m looking forward to working alongside this outstanding intern class, and in awe of how hard they worked to get here. (Also, I wish more of our leaders at Stanford were as direct and courageous as Dr. Hawn in addressing external bad-faith nonsense, but I digress… 😇)

This is bad news, since Medicare Advantage plans routinely deny appropriate care and are primarily designed to transfer public funds to private insurance companies.

nobody will remember: - your salary - how busy you were - how many hours you worked people will remember: - how you rounded efficiently - when you finished rounds each day - how you made them feel when you always finished rounds in a timely fashion
