Trying to explain what an acute care surgeon was, and an ED doc said, “They’re surgeons who work close with the ED to help some of the sickest patients in the hospital. They’re also some of our favorite consultants”

This is the spot where Dr. John Pryor lost his life when a mortar round in Mosul, Iraq struck. Shortly after, I replaced Dr. Pryor, my friend who had trained me. I felt guilt that his family would never step foot on this hallowed ground. Remember the fallen this Memorial Day.

Wondering how to help those of us on the front lines? Most of you cannot produce ventilators, create a cure overnight, or make PPE. But MANY of you CAN give blood. We need this for non-COVID who are seriously ill or injured. Without🩸, we save less lives. Call ahead to donate.

The outpouring of support for @pitttrauma and @UPMC from our worldwide #trauma community is amazing. Grateful for my 2nd family on this, our saddest day. Operating with my partners and the incredible Presby team who ran to help today was a reminder of the good beneath the pain. – at Bell Acres, PA
