Thank you Dr. Lovvorn! Incredibly blessed to receive the H. William Scott Jr. award! Could not have made it this far without support from the countless mentors and sponsors I found in the attendings, fellows, residents, and other staff at @VUMCSurgRes and @VUmedicine!

Breaking News: Surgeons in Boston transplanted a kidney from a genetically engineered pig into an ailing 62-year-old man, the first procedure of its kind. Organs from genetically engineered pigs one day may make dialysis obsolete. nyti.ms/3TMAqRo

🧵regarding 1-handed knot tying: We'll go over basic concepts about knots and how to tie the '1-handed' knot. We will also explore why one of the 'throws' is harder than the other, and a different way to do it that may be new to many who trained in surgery in the U.S. (1/ )

My journey to general surgery started my 2nd year at Vanderbilt, thanks to the mentorship of @skgeevarghese. Reconnecting with him and all of the supportive VUMC faculty at #ACSCC2023 was a great reunion!
