It’s meeting day in Lansing!

I am honored to have been selected as the first place winner for @JCO_ASCO’s inaugural narrative essay competition with my essay “A chance to heal with cold hard steel,” which explores grief and surgical courage. Check it out here: ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JC…

Congratulations to the new Editor-in-Chief of Diseases of the Colon and Rectum (DCR), Scott Regenbogen, MD! DCR is a leading publication in the field of colorectal surgery, and we're confident it will continue to thrive under Dr. Regenbogen's leadership.

The hardest lessons after training aren’t always in the OR or clinic. 🙏 I wrote this essay for anyone navigating their first year as an attending. “Unseen Scars” in @JAMA_current 🔗jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

Another familiar face is joining faculty in the Division of Colorectal Surgery: Alisha Lussiez, MD. Dr. Lussiez did her general surgery residency here and is coming back as a Clinical Assistant Professor now that she's completed her fellowship. Welcome back!

Please consider donating to Ronald McDonald House Charities, who are helping me run the 2025 Chicago Marathon! Great folks doing great work for families! give.rmhc.org/fundraiser/596…

@AdamEhrlichMD @TempleGastro @Eagles @CrohnsColitisFn Go birds!

Had to represent at the reception for #CCCongress25 #GoBirds #SuperBowlLIX

@FilipinoSurgeon @JAMASurgery Potential interventions to improve patient outcomes based on these data include: hiding snakes in the scrub sink and prank calls into the OR saying that anesthesia has cancelled the surgeon’s next case because the patient added a drop of cream to their morning coffee…

I got soul but I’m not a soldier

Fell off my bike on the way to the hospital the first day and got vomited on the last day but survived sub-i 3/3 ☑️ Thanks @UMichSurgery for another great month of learning ft. The Big House! #goblue

It’s Meeting Day! ⁦@MichaelEnglesbe⁩

First Annual Hernia Summit! Off to an amazing start! 🙌🏻👏🏻👍🏻

Interesting concept: Can we associate sleeve gastrectomy and neoadjuvant chemotherapy as a neoadjuvant treatment for colon cancer with severe obesity? @SWexner @Neil_J_Smart @AlaaEl_Hussuna @BoutrosMarylise @nirhoresh @MarkSoliman @juliomayol @DouradoJMD sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@SeanLangenfeld Things I’ve plucked out out ileostomies in the ED/wards: -Cole slaw - Peanuts - Sunflower seeds - Kale

Surgeons: When you construct an ileostomy, do you impose long-term restrictions on the types and consistencies of foods your patients can eat? I see patients with instructions for soft/bland/low-fiber diets, cooked & peeled tomatoes, no nuts/seeds, etc... Is this necessary?

Saying farewell to a friend, colleague, and mentor! Best wishes Sam! ⁦⁦@UMichSurgery⁩ ⁦
