As a critical care and trauma surgeon we are tasked with not only performing surgery, but providing comprehensive care for some of the sickest patients. I believe each patient should be treated as if they were one of my loved ones, and that care extends to their families. As an academic surgeon it is our job to teach our residents and lead by example demonstrating compassion, dedication and commitment to our patients with the integration of care through an interdisciplinary process.
