“In 2021, vascular surgeons produced an average of $1.6 million per full-time equivalent, ranking as the fourth-highest revenue-producing specialty in the health care system.” And that is for the obvious, billable services, not for everything else…. https://t.co/JLThmShti8

This is one of my favorite speeches of all time…

It always hits me hard:

“You get up every day—you’re entitled to nothing. Nobody owes you nothing. You could have talent, but if you don’t have discipline, and you don’t execute, you don’t focus… What do you get? Nothing. If you’re complacent and not paying attention to detail… What does that get you? Nothing. So nothing is acceptable but your best.”

This is a harsh reality of life:

Talent is meaningless without discipline.
Ambition is worthless without execution.
Focus is the difference between potential and reality.

You’re not entitled to success—it’s earned in the quiet, thankless moments when no one is watching.

The antidote to entitlement is relentless ownership.

Show up fully. Pay attention to the details. Do your best—every single day.

Because in a world where everyone wants the reward, it’s those who refuse to accept anything less than their best who build something worth being proud of.

RFK Jr. went on national TV and spouted egregious, dangerous falsehoods about vaccines. As a parent and infectious diseases doctor, I couldn't stay silent. @FoxNews might not fact-check him, but I will. I've reviewed the trials. I've catalogued them. I have receipts. 🧵

When something grows to the point that an organ fails or a person dies, it's called cancer. The doctors aren't the problem. The nurses aren't the problem. The patients are not the problem.

Curious how folks in the US are paying for these open-access fees:
-out-of-pocket
-related research funds
-discretionary division pool
-annual academic allotment

It can catch up quickly!

Some good advice

[Justin B. Dimick @jdimick1]

1/6 Today I gave 5 pieces of advice to our new @UMichSurgery interns.

First I asked them if they had a culture. “Not yet”

I suggested they would soon and when they were chiefs, they would own the culture of the residency. They will create it starting now.

So my 5 tips👇

One of my favorite attendings from med school gave me advice that I still think about to this day. Over the past 5 years of residency, I've adjusted some items to be more applicable to a surgery resident so here is a 🧵of Dr. Touss' 5 rules of 💩 (w/ surgical modification) ...

[Michael Yeh @michaelyehmd]

“At the core, surgeons must be able to accept responsibility.”
The heightened sense of responsibility comes at a cost. When a patient does poorly, surgeons suffer emotional turmoil, sadness, guilt and shame. “We hide our grief, suffer in silence. The pain can be debilitating.”

This #MondayMotivation is brought to you by Gore! Did you know PAD affects 1 in 20 Americans over age 60? The good news is that walking an average of 30 minutes or more each day can lower the risk of PAD.
