Wow, receiving this made my day (week? year?)! One of the best parts of residency has been getting to teach medical students and get them excited about surgery. Teaching, even as a junior resident, is only possible because of the excellent learning environment at @UPMC_SurgRes

I saw Joe Kwaczala at his annual pittsburgh homecoming show in Dec and I saw clips of this movie. I know I don’t have much of a platform but he’s a really funny guy, and this looks amazing.
I've come to slowly realize that AMERICAN COMIC, my new movie, could potentially be my Star Wars, and it feels crazy.
