. @AmCollSurgeons for over a decade I have been going to the clinical Congress. My reasons are more than just an update in science. For me is the sense of purpose and belonging - what is your reason? #ACSCC22 #ACSCC2022

“Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.” Working to help patients is one of the best remedies for burnout ( at least for me). It reminds us of our purpose. I am happy to be part of a team.

We need make sure that we are our best advocates and not our worst enemies. We need to coach our inner voice to be kind. During hard moments what we need to hear is that we deserve these opportunities, that we can overcome the obstacles, and that we are worth it. 💗💪🏻
