Thinking of @danieldennett today. "The secret of happiness: Find something more important than you are and dedicate your life to it." #13NeverStops #13RoadToOrtho
I had the immense pleasure of meeting the "widely read and fiercely debated" philosopher @danieldennett at @AUB_Lebanon in 2018 as he shared wisdom about #MoralPsychology. May his soul rest in peace 🕊️✨ “It’s knowing what to do when you don’t know what to do; think about it”.
• trauma doesn’t wait - neither should your focus • healing is nonlinear - for both patients and surgeons • discipline isn’t a moment - it’s a habit in motion • the best outcomes come from prep, not luck • stay humble, stay sharp, stay ready #13NeverStops #13RoadToOrtho
• pressure reveals your purpose • your work ethic speaks louder than words • trust your training, but never stop questioning • when doors close, build your own hallway • keep showing up - even when it's hard, especially then #13NeverStops #13RoadToOrtho
A pleasure getting to witness the enthusiasm, curiosity, intelligence & growth of my brilliant students. Their potential is limitless and I am honored to have been a part of their journey. To my future surgeons, doctors, and leaders – study hard, learn much, & stay in touch! ♥️

“Greatness does not come out of intelligence, it comes from character. Character is not formed out of smart people: it is formed out of people who have suffered.” — Nvidia CEO, Jensen Huang
• Safety only gets you so far; step into new arenas. • Be curious. Learn how things work and why. • The beginning is tough. It’s like preheating the oven: once you're warmed up, you can cook. • There’s room at the top - bring others with you. #13NeverStops #13RoadToOrtho
Matching as an IMG is rarely linear. It takes time, grit, and a lot of faith. Our latest @HopkinsOrtho @jbjs article offers practical guidance - and a reminder, to myself and others, that every journey is valid. There's beauty in the detours, if you stop & smell the roses 🌹

Looks like we’ve still got work to do! Most pediatric trauma patient education materials on AAOS & POSNA websites exceed recommended readability levels - potentially limiting comprehension. It's time to bridge the gap. We're working on it📚 Read more: bit.ly/42Bc6Go

Incredibly humbled to learn that our work, “Implementing a Hospitalist Comanagement Service in Orthopaedic Surgery,” was selected as one of the ABOS certification readings. Grateful beyond words for our @HopkinsOrtho team. Thank you for the vision and for believing in this work!

• Talent opens the door. Discipline keeps you inside. • Hold your line. Break if needed. Then rebuild stronger. • You can't shortcut the reps. • Success whispers - after consistency screams. • Some big matches are won in overtime. #13NeverStops #13RoadToOrtho
