Replying to @chainedelespoir
@chainedelespoir Great memories seeing the work done in Benin 🇧🇯 this week. Helping them and evaluating their teaching. Amazing what the African surgeons and anesthetic teams achieve with limited means. We helped a lot of children with caustric oesophageal lesions. @uzleuven

Even the greatest men and women of medicine will at most get half a page when the big book of medicine will be written. Most of us won’t even be mentioned. What I do however remember are the names of those who made me the clinician I am today as well as those I wished never to become like. For me, it is the service and the teaching that matters most.

Less than 4 wks til #ANES26, and I'm running for ASA Assistant Treasurer! I'm committed to the ASA mission. I've been in the ASA House of Delegates for 15 y and Board for 4 y. I've served ASA in education, economics, and as an ASA rep to @AmerMedicalAssn, CPT, and other orgs.

OH DAMN. I’M THE ATTENDING. 😬 When do I ask for help? How fast should I be? What if the CRNA knows more than me? What happens when I screw up? Four attendings. Their first mistakes. Their awkward moments. What they wish they’d known. The First 90 Days in Practice: an interactive (and very candid) panel discussion. No slides. No lectern. Just the conversation you want before July 1. #TheSummit2026 #RegionalAnesthesia

Really impressive program and innovative educational approach! Renowned faculty and FREE registration! Can it get any better than this especially with @jeffgadsden vouching for it? Don’t miss this #regionalanesthesia #anesthesiology
If you’re a regional anesthesia fellow—or you JUST finished fellowship—we built this for you. Cadavers. Ultrasound. Amazing faculty. Career stuff nobody teaches you. Competition. New friends. Tampa. 🌴 And registration is FREE. The Summit | Nov 13–15 Tag the fellow you’d bring with you. 👇 #RegionalSummit26 #Anesthesiology #Anesthesia #MedTok #MedicalEducation #AnesthesiaFellowship
