There is no #GlobalSurgery without #GlobalAnesthesia. In some countries, anesthesia mortality is as high as 1 in 133-1000 due to workforce & resource constraints. Surgery is not enough. #SafeSurgery is needed. https://t.co/HyANvavQJH @wfsaorg #WHA76 #GlobalSurgeryDay #GSD2023

Dear Rising PGY1 (#7) Your success does not have to come at the expense of others. Quite the opposite, INTERDEPENDENCY can be a true asset during training Appreciating the contributions of others opens up an entirely different potential for collective achievements #MedTwitter
