After much deliberation over several months, I have finally created my #website, not only as an alternative way to express myself but also to step out of my comfort zone and share more of my #art. Drop by if you get a chance! https://t.co/UmZQoSoxP8 #ILookLikeASurgeon #blog

Hey #Twitter! My #plastics team and I are currently fundraising for @LLSCanada in honour of a #plasticsurgeon who passed away from the disease and was a huge supporter of our program. I will be very grateful for any kind of support! Please share widely!

It’s been my privilege to work with the Board of Governors and the Advisory Councils of the @AmCollSurgeons. Tonight was our joint Member Services pillar meeting. Typically this would have happened in person at #ACSCC21.

Investor-owned healthcare companies too often see healthcare workers as replaceable parts (providers, etc) when in fact their trusted, compassionate interactions with patients are literally at the core of the product that they are selling.

Predatory publishing has long been problematic--with #COVID19, it is no less.

We @ma_xiya @markshrime reviewed >1,000 predatory journals, finding >300 COVID articles published by May, taking tens of thousands of $ from unknowing authors.

While #COVID led to large global surgical backlogs & supply shortages, HICs & LMICs can learn from each other.

In @AnnalsofSurgery, @ma_xiya @Hannah_Thomas4 @anisanazir and I delve deeper into opportunities for innovation & collaboration during #COVID19: https://t.co/fOh24gIxok

The #COVID19 pandemic has put #healthsystems around the world under threat, fostering the need for prompt innovation and collaboration, whilst recognizing the new #quality chasm arising across all levels.
