Being a surgeon is more than just cutting.
Over the last 10 years, the best I have worked with have highly developed soft skills.
Here are the 9 that will make you standout 🧵:

The AO classification for thoracolumbar fractures was always confusing to me, until I made this video to simplify it.

6 non-neurosurgery books that made me a better neurosurgeon:
The Black Swan - N Taleb
The Culture Code - D Coyle
Astronaut's Guide - C Hadfield
Man's Search For Meaning - V Frankl
Stumbling Upon Happiness - D Gilbert
Thinking fast, Thinking Slow - D Kahnemen
Any additions?

Shockingly unsurprising
I’m not sure I have all the answers but I’m trying to do my bit to account for this

It can feel like a personal attack, but when seen through this lens and - with it - the lens of differential attainment of say for instance mothers in surgery who cannot just ‘stay behind’, you may understand the response you had

I want to tell you a story
The story is mine, but the position I was in is not just mine, it’s a position many have been in
It’s about the time I did one of the most frightening things I ever did
And I’ve done a lot of frightening things…
I ‘returned to work’ as a surgeon
