Behind The Knife: The Surgery Podcast

In this episode by the Emergency General Surgery team, we explore the inevitable in acute care surgery- complications. Once a taboo subject, we are now beginning to understand how surgeons and care teams are affected when things don't go as planned. The team discusses two articles that explore the impact of surgical complications on surgeons, both in the short and long term, as well as ways to rehabilitate and support surgeons when they face a challenging complication. Drawing on the article, as well as personal experience, this episode works towards the ongoing shift in surgical culture around outcomes and supports improved surgeon wellness.  Hosts Dr. Ashlie Nadler Dr. Jordan Nantais,  Dr. Graham Skelhorne-Gross Dr. Marika Sevigny References Zhu A, Deng S, Greene B, Tsang M, Palter VN, Jayaraman S.
