Incredible news about my friend and colleague @motazqadan . Can't think of anyone more deserving. He has been unwavering about his passion for surgical excellence and patient care. Another big win for @MGHSurgery and the new @MassGenBrigham cancer center . @AHPBA.
Thrilled and so proud my dear friend @motazqadan has been named Surgeon-in-Chief of the MGB Cancer center. Selfless, generous, funny, genuine-he wins mentor awards for good reason! Excited for my friends @BrighamSurgery to get to know a wonderful leader across town.@MGHSurgery.

A very sad statistic revealing another pandemic in the United States. The pandemic of physician burnout, despair, depression and suicide. This must be investigated. I can't but help think this is the result of diminishing physician worth, autonomy and value in lieu of corporate.
I have known 7 MDs who committed suicide (6M, 1F) . 300-400 doctors kill themselves/year in USA. Suicide attempts 250% higher among β docs & 70% higher among β .We are used to helping, not needing help.In USA, call/text 988 for help 24/7.#medx #MedTwitter Please RT.

Debate on Achalasia Management: PD vs. POEM | VuMedi via @vumedi . Had a great time with this debate on PD vs POEM with the great #PeterDraganov. This was tough, but anyone convinced that PD has a role in 2024???.
