You’ll be missed Dr Bankhead!! Thank you for all what you did over the last 4 years; from taking care of our critical ill/trauma patients to establishing our research curriculum to mentoring our residents! 🤍 @BBankheadMD
Last day on faculty at @TTUHSCSurgery! So many incredible memories the last 4 years- & the best ones were the ones spent teaching, learning, & growing. Leaving this place a little smarter, older, wiser, better, way more confident & equally more humble than I found it. ♥️
