I am often asked about "work-life balance".... Honestly, this is pretty nebulous, and I think it's ultimately an unfair concept....
....The real truth is that it is a work-life pendulum, where sometimes my family takes precedence, and other times when my patients come first. 💖

There is nothing like knowing that your patients have done well after surgery. They put their lives in your hands to take the best possible care of them. It is not blind faith; it is a mutual trust. We get through this together. We are a team.

Today is a hard day. 5 years ago, I was a first responder to a horrible car accident on I-84 near exit 31. I stopped, pulled a young woman out of her car, did CPR for 30 min before she was air lifted to a local hospital.

Betsy DeVos says public schools are a "dead end." They educate 90% of our kids. She's Trump's pic for Education Sec. Let that sink in.
