Core ReSurge memories 🫶 #TBT Dr. George Gregory, a pediatric anesthesiology leader, has volunteered with ReSurge since the 1980s. His philosophy: "What doesn't work is giving a lecture and then leaving." Through tele-mentoring, his teaching continues long after each trip.

"The infant was too young and underweight for the surgery, so the whole procedure took no more than 20 seconds before they were brought back from the anesthetic. The scrubs Dr. Palacios presented me with are one of my most treasured possessions." - Stuart Coulson

On this surgical team training trip, they performed lifesaving cleft palate surgery on an infant only a few weeks old. Without the surgery, the infant would not have been able to breastfeed and get the nutrients they need.
