⭐️⬇️Looking forward to conversations that arise from our piece on accompaniment in surgery. Now in an academic residency, some days I feel so far from its proposed reality--but deeply hopeful.

Bravo. "...an ethic of accompaniment in surgical care offers a framework to address the problem of health disparities & structural drivers of injustice & can be used to interrogate the way these are reinforced by the relational & epistemic distance between surgeons & patients."

"Accompaniment is a posture of opening ourselves to the ways our patients’ lives call out to us." Grateful for this piece!

This is liv reilly reporting from Polk Place. There is heavy police presence and individuals in yellow vests not associated with the demonstration that have began picking up the solidarity encampment. Police are saying the area is “closed to everyone.”
