Over the past month, I got to catch up with 3 of former @UofTSurgOnc HPB surg onc fellows - Matt Dixon (Rush), Sasha Acher (UW), Alejandro Branes (Santiago). Watching them thrive in life & HPB practice is the best part of this job. So proud! 🙂
The smarter women are, the more hostility they face.
In the U.S. & China, the higher women’s IQs, the less they're liked—and the more they’re undermined by coworkers. Men pay no price for being bright.
It's long past time to recognize female intellect as an asset, not a threat.

Fair. Pain and strain in the survival team are a matter of patient safety.
But I wokldnt put the blame on surgeons. From experience, surgeons are the first ones who don’t want to be hurting.
Surgeons work within hazardous environments and are forced to find individual workarounds to makeup for those hazards. They put their bodies at extreme risk to provide quality patient care and they often do so because of a surgical culture that had taught us to do whatever it takes for the patient.
From work my team and others have done, most of the issues and hazards are organizational. Responsibility for providing safe environments and working conditions rests with hospitals and OR leadership…. That has been very difficult to address across multiple jurisdictions.
More data on importance of OR ergonomics
📋Survey 161 surgeons
⚠️72% no ergo training
😳14% hospitalized for injury
⚡️22% changed OR duties
⚡️59% pain affects ability to operate

Unique session at @CASUpdate meeting
Surgeons invited to talk OR innovation with anesthesiologists 🙌
HPB, ENT, spine realities
But the real thread: OR team design may be the next frontier in surgical care. Not tech. Not flashy. But it touches everything🤝
Let’s make it happen!

I TNE dell’intestino tenue richiedono un approccio chirurgico specifico, in grado di conciliare controllo oncologico, preservazione della funzione intestinale, sollievo dei sintomi e qualità di vita a lungo termine
Questa Commission BJS sottolinea l’importanza di una presa in carico multidisciplinare, con expertise nei TNE, e la necessità di strategie più standardizzate e basate sulle evidenze lungo tutto il percorso perioperatorio

🔬 Fascinating to see #ILookLikeASurgeon become the subject of scholarly study more than a decade later.
🙏 I'm grateful to @DrKathyHughes @KickAsana@susieQP8, and the thousands of @womensurgeons around the world who gave life to this movement. What began as a simple hashtag became a community, a conversation, and for many, a reminder that they belong. 💙
✨ It's a powerful reminder that words—and the communities that gather around them—can have a longer reach than we ever imagine. 🌍
