I cannot describe what a treat it was to watch my current surgical trainees and colleagues learn from the man who taught me so many valuable lessons in surgery and life. – at Houston, TX
It was an honor to give the Mattox lecture with @kmattox1 in the front row. Thank you @DrRosengart @ZielinskiTrauma @BCM_Surgery for the amazing hospitality. Spending the day with @kmattox1 and getting a tour of Ben Taub by the legend himself was priceless

Racism is difficult to define. Systemic racism goes unnoticed. If we are to move forward to a more inclusive profession we must work to understand and recognize the racism that lies deep in our foundations. Pictures speak 1000 words.

1/2 How many surgical professional associations have elections from the membership?
I know one that does — @AcademicSurgery — elected officers shown below.
It’s time to move in this direction to ensure leadership reflects the values of membership. – at Ann Arbor, MI
This took some bravery to publish this statement. Thank-you
But the fact that this statement is needed, is evidence of the work that needs to be done. Be as brave and transparent with being "committed to learning from this experience and taking action" bit.ly/3H3E1CV

I just witnessed history…
@DrRosengart hosting surgical jeopardy for @BCM_Surgery as our trainees prepare for the ABSITE. This was the first year that the faculty team has ever won! Thanks @BCMGSRes for finally letting us win…

It was my pleasure to participate in the meeting. The energy, enthusiasm, and commitment to the exemplary care of all injured patients was palpable!
#TQIP2022 was a a great reunion with wonderful friends and colleagues from trauma centers past and present, and a great reminder of what a privilege it is to care for the injured.
And Phoenix is pretty cool (in December)

For #Hirschsprung disease, the Soave or endorectal pull-through was described in 1964. Yancey described the same technique in 1952 but because of his race was published in a less read journal. The procedure is now being renamed the Yancey-Soave to give proper historical credit.
Thanks @TedABC13 for sharing this “dollars and cents” perspective on gun violence. In addition to pain, suffering, and death, it’s yet another reason to study this uniquely American epidemic, which is particularly severe in our local Houston community.

We wore orange today at The Ben Taub and LBJ trauma centers in Houston for National Gun Violence Awareness Day. The men and women in these photos are acutely aware of the prevalence and impact of violence due to firearms. @RealCedricDark @rmvera @BCM_Surgery
Harris Health System staff observed National Gun Violence Awareness Day by wearing orange to raise awareness of the ever-present dangers of gun use and urge the community to address the issue. #WearOrange

Physicians are the natural attorneys of the poor and the social problems should largely be solved by them... This is one of my favorite quotes. It perfectly encapsulates how I feel about my job. Got to share my experiences with racial profiling and overpolicing as part of our 1/3
Please read this brief narrative of a neurosurgical trainee who was reprimanded for her attire. What happens is unfair, I'm sure you will agree. However, if you take comfort, because the truth came to light, you are missing the point. The damage is done in so many ways.
My article "Misogynoir" about an event that typified intersectionality during my residency training is now out. Honestly inspired to write it by many people I met virtually who weren't afraid to share their story. I thought it was time to share. 🧵

The people who you teach in your professional life, are observing how you conduct yourself in your personal life. @ahmedfk10 reminded me of that today, when I ran into him during my am run. It’s a high calling to teach. This responsibility is not limited to work. @BCM_Surgery – at Houston, TX
Fascinating study on Imposter Syndrome among surgical trainees.
Note that self-reported "imposterism" was VERY prevalent among trainees regardless of ABSITE/USMLE scores, PGY level, gender or race.
Is it the people we train, or how we train them?
