Fours year have FLOWN by! So thankful to be doing this work :)

[Kenya Operate @kenyaoperate]

We are so excited to announce that I've accepted a new, part-time position as the Chief Medical Officer of @BethanyKids! We will continue to live & work @KijabeHospital while also working with BK to support our graduate surgeons across the African continent!

[Britney Grayson, MD, PhD @britneygrayson]

Hey oh #CMO! I am SO excited to step into this new role with @BethanyKids & help all of our graduate surgeons maximize their ability to provide quality pediatric surgical care in Jesus' name!

Access to safe surgery is a human right, no matter your age!

[Kenya Operate @kenyaoperate]

This is what shipping 367 lbs (167 kg) of supplies looks like- WHEW! It took me more than a week to sort and pack these most generous donations. We are so thankful to all our donors/partners! #pedsurgbestsurg
P.S. @BethanyKids surgeons- a lot of this will make its way to YOU!

[Britney Grayson, MD, PhD @britneygrayson]

She's HERE! Welcome Dr. Sarah Tracy to Kenya- the inaugural @IU_Surgery @IU_PedSurg fellow to rotate @BethanyKids @KijabeHospital!

Just back from a beautifully peaceful 3 day retreat at Malu Lodge. Talking, dreaming, praying, and listening for the future plans of Kenya Operate! Oh and eating, did we mention eating? The food (and people) were INCREDIBLE!!

[Britney Grayson, MD, PhD @britneygrayson]

INDUCTED! Finally had the opportunity to walk to stage and accept my certificate as an international member of @APSASurgeons . So excited for the work we're doing to share our resources with the world. Proud to be a part!

I stand by every word. We are placing the burden of gun violence at the feet of our children.

UPDATE-
3 children are confirmed dead. 3 children who learned the word "Jambo" this morning from us in chapel. 3 children who were learning all the verses of Amazing Grace to sing for grandparents day next week. 3 children who didn't have to die. Lord be with us. Lord, be with us

[Britney Grayson, MD, PhD @britneygrayson]

Please join me in praying for healing for these children. Pray for the doctors, nurses, and surgeons caring for them right now. Pray for all the little hearts that weren't physically wounded but who will never be the same. Pray. Pray. PRAY.

[Britney Grayson, MD, PhD @britneygrayson]

I have personally operated on a school shooting victim. I have told too many parents and family members that their loved ones are dead as a result of gun violence. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

[Britney Grayson, MD, PhD @britneygrayson]

But furthermore, WHY ARE OUR CHILDREN BEING MASSACRED IN THEIR SCHOOLS?! I have no idea when this country will have had enough and I'm utterly, completely, totally shocked that, as a nation, we aren't there yet.

[Britney Grayson, MD, PhD @britneygrayson]

But to do what I do makes me literally one of the most qualified people on the planet to help in that situation. Why had we driven away just minutes before? Could I have helped those children if we were still there? I feel guilty for being safe. (3/)

[Britney Grayson, MD, PhD @britneygrayson]

We drove away at 10:12am and less than 20 minutes later, at least 3 children were shot right there on the campus.

There are no words for this feeling. I think the normal feeling is supposed to be relief- relief that we were already gone and our lives are safe. (2/)

[Lily Gutnik MD MPH @LGutnik]

Excited to host @britneygrayson !
