My dad is in the ICU with Covid, and the past few days have been tough. Maybe the worst part about this virus is that you can’t be there to hold your loved one’s hand as they go through this scary illness. And we can only talk briefly before his oxygen plummets.

For those who say the death rate is low, it was 100% for my father-in-law & all those who succumbed to their battle with COVID. I received notice to schedule my vaccine on the day he died. We were so close to the end! PLEASE #KeepMasking at least out of respect for those we lost!

Looking forward to seeing everyone attending #WCICon21. If you are interested in early retirement, join my presentation at 3:30 Mountain time or catch the replay any time this weekend.

In our latest blog post as a part of our #AAPIHeritageMonth Series, Chee-Chee Stucky reflects on being raised by a tiger mom, raising her son, and how these experiences shaped her path as a surgeon and an educator! blog.womensurgeons.org/family-life/su…

So honored to be given the opportunity to write for WomenSurgeons #AAPIHeritageMonth . Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Jean-Nicolas Vauthey MD is an outstanding supporter of early career surgeons & excellent example of healthy ergonomics!!!

EVERY year I am asked to help a black resident avoid dismissal. It is a minority tax that we don’t talk about, but many of us spend countless hours and money helping to coach trainees through these issues. The stories are all eerily similar…
