Underrated life advice: Keep a list of the people who believed in you early. The teacher who pushed you. The boss who took a chance. The friend who told you to go for it. Every now and then, reach out. Update them. And tell them just how much you appreciate what they did for you.

Our study @acsJACS found that suicide was the leading cause of death among surgical residents in the US. In recent years, nearly 1 in 2 deaths were suicides, more than accidents, cancer, and other medical conditions combined. What are we doing wrong and what can we do about it? doi.org/10.1097/XCS.00000000… @AmCollSurgeons @acgme @AAMCtoday @AmerMedicalAssn @ASPS_News @AcademicSurgery @TomVargheseJr @IU_Surgery #SuicidePreventionMonth #PhysicianSuicide #ResidentWellbeing #SurgicalResidency #StopTheStigma #MedTwitter
