A heartfelt THANK YOU @UofAZSurgery & @AZTraumaCats for a supported, wonderful and well-deserved #maternityleave as I come back to work with a smooth transition. My little love helping me submit research publications during my leave because how can I not as a Type A person.

Congrats Raymond, It was great getting to work with you these two years! Good luck at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles!
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🌵🌞
Over 40% of emergency general surgery patients were diagnosed with a 🆕 chronic disease during their surgical hospitalization How could EGS serve as a portal to healthcare? 🤔 ➡️ bit.ly/40SQTqn
🚁 “They flew me in… and sent me home.” It’s time to FIG-ure it out. From the Creators of BIG We now bring you Face Injury Guidelines (FIG) to ask the hard questions: – Who really needs transfer for facial trauma? – How many get procedures? – Are we doing more harm than good?…
Looking forward to working with the TSACO Social Media Team with the AAST @traumadoctors this next year. Thank you for the opportunity to combine my passion for creativity with a purpose to share research, bring awareness to trauma and acute care surgery topics and be impactful!

Let’s work on a culture change to make this not a problem for our future generations!
Pregnant surgeons face higher rates of complications, yet many still double up on call to avoid burdening peers. Culture—not just policy—is the root problem. journals.lww.com/annalsofsurger…
