Massive anticipated losses in the beginning with plans to catch up when they actually have to charge the normal market rate. This is no accident and all a part of the playbook 👊🏾👍🏾
@DrCameronWebb
Haha...I was transport and the tech all in one day. I always say politely, “well I’m capable of transporting you, but I’m the Chief of Vascular surgery here”. 😳
When you call me about a consult...please don’t tell me the patients insurance status. I don’t give a shit if they have commercial or none. I’m here to take care of patients and I’m proud to accept everyone that comes through my door 👊🏾👍🏾

All I ever wanted to be growing up was a husband and dad. Father’s Day and my Birthday are a chance for me to make breakfast for the family and let them know how much I love and appreciate having them in my life. My birthday wish is that my babies each start an enduring way to…
I’m a bit ashamed that I lied right to my kids face yesterday. They’re old enough to ask shit like “dad, would the cops do that to you?” I answered without hesitation and said...hell no. I can’t have my baby waking up at 5 am because she can’t sleep. I know she knows....
The picture of my Father listening obediently to one of the most disciplined and consequential leaders in the history of human kind. Every year, the impact of those talks of life as a Freedom Rider become more meaningful. Thank you Dad and happy MLK Day ✊🏾

My beautiful soul is 13 today! Intelligent, dashingly beautiful, and loves God. She’s going to change the world with a big heart and fierce resolve. I love you Bre always and forever 😘
Big sis told me a few years ago that I wasn’t going to be the only doctor among the siblings. Well, she walked across the stage today as Dr Katrina Fisher, PhD! After a lifetime of centering others, today was her time to shine…and of course she did! Love you Queen Bean ✊🏾❤️🤎
Feel lucky to be with the woman of my dreams. 18 years is a long time, but you make love easy. To the most beautiful, intelligent, and loving person I’ve ever known…Happy Anniversary Momma Boo…God willing and the creek don’t rise, let’s do this for a 100 more! 😘
Me waking up to a call about a 9 cm aneurysm only to see that that’s the length and it’s 3 cm in diameter…and now I’m wide awake at 2 am 😐

Similar to when a doctor speaks out about a bad apple, I appreciate your willingness to speak up...even when it’s difficult. I’m thankful ✊🏾

sing happy birthday to me. Many of you will never know that he’s a better at being a good person than he is at Vascular surgery all day. Thanks for believing in me 👊🏾👍🏾
All I ever wanted to be growing up was a family guy and dad...complete with my son ghosting me during pizza time 🤦🏾♂️. He made a comeback though..,so Happy Father’s Day to me 🥰

, it has been a great honor to work with some of the most skilled and compassionate doctors around the world. 3 weeks ago, I was given the honor of performing the First In Man procedure for QuickClear by
@Philips
. With its simplicity and easy set up
Sooooo, yes the nurses called security on my colleague only to be told by security that he’s a doctor with the hospital. He was wearing his white coat and scrubs. We laughed because at the end of the day...being upset and internalizing it is insidiously draining 🤦🏾♂️
Cardiac/Vascular collaboration is a regular thing at our institution. These cardiac boys at CMC are good surgeons and provide thorough care. Say hello to Kumar Subramaniam aka KK Sooby Doo. I joked today that 8 hour cases are pretty nice when you get to work with a friend 👊🏾👍🏾
Was already having a good day…then it turns great!
@IEMcElroy
is such a bright and talented surgeon and I enjoyed discussing limb preservation strategies in real time. The future of vascular surgery is bright with stars like this on the horizon 🤎 👊🏾👍🏾

yesterday. I made my 4 kiddos get out of the car and watch what was happening...to see it up close. I hope it was a good teaching moment...and I’m proud of the range of ages and hues peacefully marching for a cause

The face of great nurses goes unseen in the OR. She was absolutely firm in her resolve to ensure that I was taken care of before she left. As I was sewing away…the room was calm…and she quietly left an hour after I told her I was good. Thank you for being great Colby👊🏾👍🏾

When I see a vascular surgeon younger than me doing pedal bypasses, it definitely gets me excited. The technical aspect of using 7-0 on a 2 mm diseased vessel is badass, and folks like

have my respect for doing it…with success 👊🏾👍🏾✊🏾
At the beach, fog thick as pea soup, can’t see…but can hear the fireworks. One day, the babies won’t wanna hang out with me and momma, but for now…I’m gonna soak it all up and relish the moment. Happy New Year y’all! 👊🏾👍🏾
Good people with outstanding skills are hard to find. Thankful to have Art Lee as a mentor early in my career. He’s one of the best and I’m glad to call him a friend 👊🏾👍🏾
Mariah is a great human being and one of the best nurses to walk the earth. Even when it’s bad, she figures out a way for the patient every single time without fail. We do great things and lives are literally made better because of people like her🔥👊🏾✊🏾
While some of you are busy fighting turf wars, we understand that The sum is clearly greater than the individual parts. Big ups to a humble and truly gifted Cardiac surgeon. Collaboration is a breeze when you get to work with great people ✊🏾👊🏾👍🏾

Yep…and considering how Black women get disrespected without a blink of an eye…I feel like the world was good for even just that one privileged moment.
You love me like I was your own...but more importantly, you treat Mom like the Queen that she is. Here’s to root beer, Phil Collins, cottage cheese, and they ugly ass Renault you drove so we could see the world and go nuts at timeshares.

Saturday morning ping pong 🏓 with the Baby Boo. She’s starting the feel the ball come off the paddle and it’s fun to watch as a dad. Thankful for these moments 👊🏾👍🏾
I saw first hand growing up how a loving mom can change the life of their child with special needs. You’ll often hear me talk about Ed...my older brother who passed a couple of years ago. Doctors said he would live to 15...he lived to one year shy of 60!
To my Stepdad...who had been my bestie since I was born. You walked in eyes wide open to a single Mom with 5 kids...one severely mentally and physically disabled. You worked third shift so Mom could have a somewhat normal life. You changed diapers and didn’t complain.
