Summary

Welcome to Humanism in Surgery, a new series where we take a deep dive into the extremes of humanity within the field of surgery. As surgeons, there are times when we feel deeply human and times when we feel we have lost our humanity. These experiences impact us immensely and shape our careers in important ways. It's time these stories are told! For those of you who are fans of NPR, think of this as Story Core for surgery. 

Today, Dr. Patrick Georgoff is joined by Dr. Tamara Fitzgerald, Associate Professor of Pediatric Surgery at Duke University, and Dr. Ted Pappas, Professor of Surgery and Master Surgeon at Duke University.
