Proud to see @WomenInThoracic in @nytimes. The challenges highlighted are real, yet our meeting was filled with positivity, momentum, and a commitment to a better future for our mentees, patients, and daughters.

Lung Cancer Awareness Month just ended, but the discourse must go on. We must strive every day to further knowledge, research, and compassionate care for patients with lung cancer. Engage with these content experts to stay abreast of the discussion. #LCSM

Why do I operate on stage IV NSCLC?
Yes, patient selection is critical. Yes, the cases can be technically quite challenging.
But, sometimes we provide life-changing hope to patients. This privilege is the reason why I became a doctor.

The Society of The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) is supporting wellness for surgeons so we can be better prepared to take care of our patients. A healthy surgeon is good for patients #STSwellness #BeYourBestSelf @STS_CTsurgery
STS Past Pres. @DouglasEWood1 practices #STSwellness: "I'm relaxed & happy when I'm on my bike in the Cascade Mountains, near Seattle. If I can’t get to the mountains, Peloton gives me a fun workout w/o leaving home; that exercise is a great antidote to the stresses of work." 1/2

IMHO Social media can help amplify your academic career. But it can never take the place of the needed work.
As @JBMatthews has noted: “no substitute for substance”
(At least I think @JBMatthews said that…😊)

I am a CT surgeon, and I’m privileged to play an enormous role in the lives of all four of my children as well as those of my patients and their families. To be clear, women are wanted, needed, and can succeed in CTSurgery.
