Hear about the role of art & science in General Surgery in both rural and academic settings! Who would have thought that compassion and humility are amongst the most important qualities of a General Surgeon. Being able to partner with patients as they navigate their health journey is simply a privilege. Join Andrew Pauls as sits down to an enlightening discussion with Dr. Yemi Laosebikan, FRCSC and Dr. Joshua Hefler (PGY-3). We learn how the Hippocratic Oath has steered a life of dedication and gratitude.  Our guests talk about about the professional and clinical side of this specialty. They share the  very human aspects of being a General Surgeon. Every day is different but so gratifying with plenty of joy. (This episode originally aired on October 21, 2021).
