Quince Gibson, M.D., MBA, has spent the last year and a half as the sole GI surgeon provider at Whitfield Regional Hospital in Demopolis, AL, but looking back, his path to medicine has proven far different from Gibson's initial career trajectory.

This morning, @aldotcom published a racial justice op-ed that I wrote in partnership with several faith leaders in the Birmingham area. The article calls on our faith communities to pursue the cause of justice in both word and deed. https://t.co/OAqdPapnub

So much is terrible about #COVID19 but there are good things too, like the strength of our division in the face of a crisis. No egos. No fighting. Just everyone helping to get it done. It may be 72hr call sleep deprivation talking but I love y’all!!! ⁦⁦@UABGISurgery⁩ ⁦
