@CJFooteMD @DrFraneNicholas We are not providers. We are physicians. We are surgeons. We are not Cogs in a healthcare delivery system. Without us there is no healthcare.

Orthopaedic surgeons/leaders are STANDING AS ONE against behaviors that demean & demoralize. There is no space for hate & it will not be tolerated. @AAOS1 @RJOSociety @bwos2020 @GladdenSociety @orthoWOW @OrthoDiversity @EquityDocs @shouldergeek @BillLevineMD @acgme @orthomentor1

Back in the OR today. With regular, elective sports cases. It felt great to be with my team and not on virtual meetings for the day. Bring on the #newnormal . It was a nice respite for a few hours. @alexxsmith6291 #surgery #orthotwitter
