@SocSurgOnc President Dr. @KellyKhunt challenges us to be scientists in the hierarchy of rethinking by @AdamMGrant. #SSO2024

“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.” - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Beautiful quote shared by Dr. @KellyKhunt during her Presidential Address #SSO2024

One of our former residents, current UF vascular surgery fellow and best friends is fighting for his life in our ICU right now. Please consider donating. gofund.me/f3299712

The Old Hands Club dinner at @hopkinssurgery @HopkinsMedicine #SurgMentoring #SurgTweeting Great catching up with so many past resident trainees back in Baltimore.

hello, old friend~ good to see you again. oh the memories we’ve shared.

Awesome to have reunions with my research and clinical fellows @IHPBA! @globalsurgallie @_lindaqu @PulviAle @ammar_asrar @ZhiVenFongMD @yaobinwen @VicKimMD

It’s that time of year! This song never fails. Here, catch that merry feeling: *NSYNC’s “Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays” youtu.be/oeLfuIzF6v8

Patient assessment: Humor intact.

1/ Today I held a hand that needed to be held. You were so afraid. So, so afraid. You: "I don't want to die from this." Me: "I don't want you to, either." You: "No, I mean this shot." I opened my mouth and then closed it. Before I could speak, you had the phone to your ear.

Learn it. Teach it. Know what it means if you see it. This has saved lives.

Poetry spotted in the surgical workroom this morning. I can sense the relief.

Such an alarming trend! New CRC cases did not just disappear, they are not being diagnosed as patients (and some providers) have delayed screening colonoscopy. Bracing for the onslaught to come 🤦🏽‍♀️

Great job @ISGPS_news reaching a consensus on this difficult but so far under estimated clinical entity @AnnalsofSurgery @EAHPBA @IHPBA @PancreasClub @Gio_Marchegiani @hpb_so @GBIHPBAnews @AISP_Pancreas @SAGES_Updates @PancreasVerona @poliambulanza

@jianjianz @UPMCSurgOnc @PittEndoSurg @lqu1012 @CRS_HIPEC @AsianAcadSurg Haha perhaps we can piece together @UPMCSurgOnc at @AsianAcadSurg #SAAS2021. Here we are with Dr. Melanie Ongchin, @jianjianz.

Forgot to take pix with everyone as were having too much fun but Pittsburgh had great representations at #SAAS2021 @UPMCSurgOnc @PittEndoSurg @lqu1012 @VicKimMD @CRS_HIPEC Dr. Melanie Ongchin @AsianAcadSurg

Got myself a boost. 💪🏼 PSA: 4 days ago, FDA authorized a booster dose of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for individuals 65 years of age and older, individuals 18-64 years old at high risk of severe COVID-19, and individuals who are 18-64 year old high-risk workers.

👉🏻 “Leadership is not titles and titles are not leadership” @DrHasanAlam @AsianAcadSurg @NMSurgery

Fascinating talk from @hahriehan @SNFAgoraJHU @JohnsHopkins at #SAAS2021 @AsianAcadSurg on creating a space of transformation. - We are in politics of transaction - Belonging comes before belief - Build authentic (not transactional) relationships —> best chance of persuasion

What an absolute honor hearing about and meeting this trailblazer in academic surgery, Dr. George Yang. Standing on the shoulders of humble giants @AsianAcadSurg #SAAS2021 @jianjianz
