How important is humility in your surgeon? Turns out, very. Humility in surgery improves patient outcomes and provider relationships. Intentionally training this value in future surgeons is often ignored but could benefit patients and health systems. https://t.co/q7fnBvRXuq

I’m an emergency medicine doctor. When you come to my ER, I will take care of you even if your beliefs are different than mine. My job is to take care of patients. If you would deny a patient care because they have different beliefs than you, then you should not be in medicine

Thank you @DrJtrauma for your honesty and your leadership. This has to change.
"There's only so many times you can walk into a room and tell someone they're not coming home tomorrow. It breaks your heart when you hear someone screaming mommy or daddy. It just becomes too hard day in and day out." - Dr. Jason Smith on the toll of gun violence in Louisville

It should be a fun thing to be able to see your friends on national TV regularly. But when you're a trauma surgeon in America, your friends are on TV because another tragedy has occurred. We truly, truly do not have to live this way.

Oscar was born with a calling. His career as a surgeon is defined by helping others. Now, he finds himself on the other side of the equation.

Pathetic and weak rhetoric. Children have the Right to go school without the fear of being slaughtered.
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.
