No colostomy bags are available. Families are socially outcast and broken because of it. Estimated cost to care for a per month- $14- and poverty worsened. Such important characterization- we can't fix a problem we don't understand. Thanks @negashsamie! @APSASurgeons #APSA23

So proud of this work led by @FelixOyania and @STrinidadMD, carrying out a dream of Dr. Situma’s. More work to be done, but great efforts to serve a community in need. We wish Martin were here to see the success he created. @ASOU_Official @APSASurgeons #APSA23 @CincyKidsSurg

A resident asked, "Why attend APSA?". Answer: If ACS represents the STATE of all surgeons, and AAP is the CITY of all providers that care for children, #APSA2023 is the HOME for all pediatric surgeons. Awesome Meeting to see everyone! @APSASurgeons

Aren’t You the Valet? Tales of Black American Surgeons | NEJM Today, in the US, it is as if there are 2 different scripts being loudly declaimed trying to drown each other out. The escalating chant “BLM” is countered by … cancel culture & White supremacy. nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…

Aren’t You the Valet? Tales of Black American Surgeons | NEJM

Two Black surgeons have seemingly climbed the ladder of meritorious success. Yet they are constantly reminded that they have not traveled a great distance as Black men in the United States.
