.@BrianTillMD on why building coalitions matter for #GlobalSurgery. Start small. Always keep listening. Build a vision. Work with others. Help them cultivate their ideas. Build around the long term path. @BethuneRound#BRT2018
The Two Gorbachev's: The Apparatchik and the Reformer. How can we get the system to work for #surgicalequity while figuring out how to change the system?
