Interesting @ColorectalDis study from our colleagues across the pond that explores an exceptionally important topic: the impact that #AnastomoticLeaks have on the surgeon's wellness and future decision-making. We all quietly carry around our small cemeteries, but the most proven way to recover is peer support. Thought leaders like @hayfarani are working hard to normalize this secret pain that we all have. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/co… @Neil_J_Smart @nic_dames
