Covid-19 has closed barbershops. My 3 sons are extremely lucky that I was a barber long before I was a surgeon! These kids have never seen a barbershop! Surgeon-barber.

I had a patient’s mom apologize profusely for wanting a second opinion for her child. No physician, who confident in their skills, should ever feel annoyed, angry or otherwise disappointed at a patient seeking a 2nd opinion. Most come back to me after.

You are asking for professionalism in an unfair process that is not present in any other profession? These are applicants who’s lives and livelihoods are at stake. They are under tremendous pressure. Not something I would do but as a PD I don’t blame them. Get over it. 🤷🏽♂️

For many of us “sleeping in” is sleeping until 7:30am. Not a waste. Trust me, I ain’t missing nothing between 5 am and 7:30 am on a Saturday (Ebonics for emphasis). Waking up stress free and rested on a Saturday is never a waste. It’s priceless.

Insurance system is flawed. Surgery denied. I call for peer-peer. “Peer” - “could not find literature to support.” I find out she’s Med-Peds (not my peer). Inform her I’m a PF specialist and quote supporting literature. She still denies! Ends with “happy holidays”.
