I wrote something for @AnnalsofSurgery. About my high-risk pregnancy during training & about the institutional support that saved me — and why every trainee deserves it. 🔗journals.lww.com/annalsofsurger… #MedTwitter #WomenInMedicine #MedEd #MaternalHealth #WomenInSurgery

Honored to help share this piece on pregnancy loss during surgical training. We hope it opens space for compassion, conversation, and better support. Grateful to @WomenSurgeons for uplifting these stories. Read here: blog.womensurgeons.org/a-common-silen…”

@rivfkaMD @OHSUNews So proud of my friend 🥺

I was 17 when I scrubbed into my first surgery at OHSU. 17 years and (literally) half a life later I’m overjoyed to share that I will be starting my first attending job where it all started as an Assistant Professor of Surgery focused on Bariatrics and Foregut @OHSUNews

@LKelley_Quon @KECKSchool_USC @ChildrensLA @uscpphs @DeanMeltzer Amazing!!!

As a health services researcher who's written "associated" in papers more times than my own name, I'm excited to announce my promotion to Associate Professor of Surgery (Clinical Scholar) @KECKSchool_USC !!! Thanks to my @ChildrensLA @uscpphs family for support! @DeanMeltzer

There it is. @VancityReynolds said it. Matching funds available. Of all the things you could support, this donation will go the longest way with @sickkids. Thank you in advance!

Earlier this year, Dr. Tim Donoghue surgically removed the tumor on my pancreas along with my spleen and 17 lymph nodes. I wanted to share him with you all as I'm forever grateful for the successful surgery he performed and the great care he gave me. Thank you Dr. D!!!

Congratulations to all our chief residents for matching into amazing #fellowship programs!! Very excited for your future!

@reverendofdoubt @JAMASurgery Written by a co resident of mine. Smartest person I know!

I refer to this paper not infrequently…. Does Atelectasis Cause Fever After Surgery? Putting a Damper on Dogma @JAMASurgery jamanetwork.com/journals/jamas…
