I am a doctor
I am a surgeon

Despite the many imperfections in medicine today and the vast problems in healthcare…..

I sincerely love my job.

I love surgery and I find no greater satisfaction in life, other than my family, ….

Helping and improving the life of my patients.

When you’re up all night doing a complex, lifesaving intervention that needed all of the skills obtained over many years, and you finally get home in the morning, sustained only by rapidly fading adrenaline, and your kid looks at you like, WTF why aren’t you making my pancakes.

[Sabine Hossenfelder @skdh]

Physicists may have found the origin of gravity. And that would finally explain why gravity is different from the other forces of nature.

Undisciplined work is just a slow drain on your time and energy.
True progress only comes from disciplined, focused effort.
Consistency and discipline are the non-negotiable keys to real success.
Without them, everything you do becomes pure waste.

I am saddened beyond words by the tragic sudden death of my dear friend of almost 40 years, Dr. Guillermo “Billy” Rosato. His loss leaves a huge irreplaceable void in our hearts and souls. Our prayers and condolences go to his family: Monica, Florencia, Clarita, Ivan, Patsy, Alex

[frank arko @farkomd]

Surgery is as physically demanding as it is intellectually challenging. The cumulative effects of long hours, awkward ergonomics, and occupational exposures make investing in your own health and well-being essential for career longevity and optimal patient care.

[Sam Atallah, MD @SamAtallahMD]

Thank u for the kind words @MN_GIMD ☺️ I am grateful to you and @AMohammedMD for putting together a superb chapter & for helping shape this book (along side the 100+ experts from across the globe) to create a product geared specifically for our valued APPs ❤️ @SpringerSurgery 📚

[Mariam Naveed, MD, FACG @MN_GIMD]

Two years in the making, this chapter reflects something we have cared about from the very beginning of our fellowship: supporting education across the division, including for our APP colleagues.

From welcoming APPs into our didactics to having our fellows speak at dedicated APP learning sessions, our fellows have consistently demonstrated that education is a responsibility shared by the entire healthcare team. Seeing that commitment embraced by our fellows has been one of the most gratifying parts of building this program.

And how fitting that this chapter comes full circle just as @AMohammedMD graduates from advanced fellowship & joins us as an attending and colleague.

Watching that evolution - from fellow, to co-author, to colleague - makes this project even more special.

A sincere thank you to the editors @SamAtallahMD for the opportunity to contribute a chapter on “Endoscopic Therapies for Surgical Conditions”.

It is both an honor and a privilege to be included in this outstanding educational resource.
