Hospitals never close and nurses are always by the bedside! Thankful for all the nurses that are working #DayAfterChristmas , especially my team at @UAMSPain. Our patients got excellent care today, just as any other day of the year. @uamshealth @UAMS_Anes.

This pin represents so much growth as a clinician, researcher, lecturer, teacher, leader, and policy maker. Thank you @uamshealth for the opportunity to grow here and I hope I contribute as much to you and you do to me. #ILoveArkansas @UAMS_Anes #Somedocs @ARexpats

In medicine, I feel like #1 is crucial. Many of the poor leaders I witnessed in my training often blamed other members of the team (nurses, trainees, etc.) when care fell short. Leaders own the entire team's losses and give others credit for the wins. Thanks @sjutt

Today, people I met for the first time allowed me to place needles within millimeters of their spinal cord. The trust that patients have in me is something that I will never take for granted! #ThursdayThoughts #SoMeDocs @uamshealth @UAMS_Anes

Ended day moderating a conversation between @ArkBlueCross and providers at @uamshealth. So interesting to hear how a payor views the #opioidcrisis. Takeaway: MDs, hospitals, patients, PharmDs, government, AND payors cant be in Silos. @UAMSPain @UAMS_Anes @ASPN_PainNeuro #somedocs

82 yo F offered "conservative" treatment. 2 mo. of 10/10 pain to 0/10. Vertebral augmentation is life saving therapy that should be considered for every patient with symptomatic VCF. Educating referring providers is key. It's an uphill battle. @uamspain @dougbeall @WayneOlan

There is nothing in medicine like hearing "I'm pain free!" from a patient that has had CRPS for 8 years. It is such a nasty disease, but SHE (not me) did all the work and I am SO proud of her. We might have teared up together. @UAMSPain @uamshealth

Today I was asked about the best advice I ever received. Couldnt narrow it to just one. here is one I use every day: "In everything you do, find your core competency and master it". Works in business, works in medicine, works in life. @uamshealth #SoMeDocs #MondayMotivaton

First time in 20 years without chronic pelvic pain. This patient had tried and failed tonic SCS. Pictures like this show how far we've come in #neuromodulation. I'm excited about where we are and where we're going! @UAMSPain @uamshealth @NANS_ION @ASPN_PainNeuro
