I feel blessed to have trained w/ such awesome mentors! I also had privilege of witnessing @ubcgensurg under @moradhameed in midst of a true #revolution! Thx most of all to the lovely @MariumJapanwala and my whole family, who have supported my dreams every step of the way 🥹🥹
The Skeptical Scalpel passed away on June 19th, 2025. He died peacefully in his home surrounded by his loving family. You can read about a remarkable man's life well lived here (thegreencremation.com/obituaries/Jam…) . He will be missed by all who knew him.
Its been a fun week together with this team, and this is the last call for our fellow and his smile says it all. These are the moments that matter Congratulations Ray watch out #Hollywood "Legacy is not what you leave behind. It's who you send forward." #FellowshipOfTheSun🌵🌞
🆕 @AnnalsofSurgery ‼️ We examined Wait Time targets in CRC surgery in 🇨🇦 Meeting traditional targets (<28 days) isn't linked to better survival. But a new data-driven target (<45 days) is. Time for an update? ⌛️ 📄 doi.org/10.1097/SLA.00… @HalletJulie @UofTSurgery #Surgery
POCUS machines have immense impact on patient care experiences at @KingstonHSC thanks to crucial donor support from groups like @queensu's Muslim Physician Group and @nccm. 👉 Learn about their impact in our Summer Foundation Report: uhkf.ca/summer2025
Hungry people wanting food should not get shot. Seems like a simple concept.
Grateful patients are the reason why we do this "job" (not really a job at all!)

Love the Yoda dish! Also, I see you have a whole folder that just says CT REQS 😂
Underrated social skill: Letting someone have their moment. One-uppers are exhausting. Real confidence lets others feel seen, heard, celebrated. Don’t hijack the story. Don't bring it back to you. Secure people don't steal attention.
Having my own office to personalize has been a curiously meaningful part of life as an attending. Finally got around to adding this Playmobil CT scanner to my shelf. Once I became aware that this existed, I had to have it! #radiology
One of the most important lessons a surgeon can learn “Believe what you see, don’t see what you believe”
🧵You deserve to thrive in #surgery. Not just survive. Not just “push through.” Because wellness and mastery are not opposites. They’re teammates. New paper alert: Work Related Pain in Gynecologic Surgeons by Young et al @KimberlyKho1 @AAGL @UTSWMedCenter
