When I was in High School they told me I could not get in a great college. In college they told me I would not get in to Med School. In med school I was told the same thing. I am now a full professor of surgery. You can do it. Time, dedication, focus, heart, grit, passion!
When I was a resident a cop stopped the car I was driving & pulled out his gun. I stated I am Dr Campbell he the asked me:
“Is this car stolen” I said no it was a friend’s car. He said “ I will run the plates”

As a black physician who is concerned about
#COVID19
and vaccination I have to say once again the most likely people to refuse vaccination is white republican men. Access to vaccination and information leads to more vaccinations in black and brown communities.
@nbcsnl
is wrong.
Today I received a phone call from a long time friend who told me his wife who was in good health died of COVID19. The second medical person who I know who died from this epidemic. We have to fight this disease with all the tools we have.

As someone who has been stopped by police at gunpoint this video is hard to watch. All black and brown men who have been the subject of police over reaction and violence worry how traffic stops will end. Will we be the next victim. Even if you are an MD or military it can happen.

Back pain and discomfort is common in surgeons. We need to me more proactive in the OR. Everyone should be comfortable when they operate. Step stools when needed.When I was a resident operating with faculty 1 ft shorter he said “bend over”. 4 hours later back pain.Not acceptable!

Do not ingest cleaning products to kill the virus it is not safe and to will kill you. Do not inject them either
Do not use UV light on your skin.
