Tomorrow I will attend my last @ACOS_MSS Convention. Feels like yesterday resurrecting #surgery at TCOM. Now so many future DO surgeons follow this path. From nothing to national conventions (virtual & in-person) in 4 years.

You don’t stop being a leader when you feel failure. I’ve mentored so many in surgery, and it will no doubt be tough to walk in those doors to a national convention of people who look up to me. This is definitely not how I imagined this last one going down. However…you don’t stop being a leader when you feel failure.
