What a milestone! Great point about the physical demands which vary tremendously

I used the same balloon arch for an event last weekend! looks great. Thanks for supporting residents and family building

Because we deserve to be well in the practice of surgery.

Let’s make sure everyone has that professional safety net, and a fair chance to build/maintain their #reputationcapital. 7/7

Start small:
💬 Check in on the new attending after a rough case.
🧩 Offer perspective before judgment.
🫂 If you are the new or late career attending - ask for peer support, for skilled assist with complex cases. 6/7

If you’ve ever thought:

“I wish someone had stepped in for me back then…”
“I wish I hadn’t had to learn that lesson the hard way…”

That’s your cue.
Be the peer support to someone that you wish you’d had. Share your reputation capital with someone else. 5/7

The protection that Reputation Capital offers isn’t just personal, it’s cultural.
A healthy workplace ⬆️ it for those who have less.
It’s built through education, mentorship, & leadership that makes asking for help a sign of strength, not weakness. 💪 4/7

That buffer has a name: Protective Equity. I think of it as Reputation Capital for surgeons.

It’s the professional safety net built from:
🏥 Showing that you can do cases safely
🫂Mentors / peers who have your back

Without it, you walk the tightrope alone. 3/7

Early career? You’re still building credibility and a track record.
Late career? Are they still sharp? Still as safe as they once were?

In both seasons, the margin for error feels paper-thin.
And if you’re from a non-dominant group? The buffer is thinner still. 2/7

This whole topic is proof of how society has lost the plot. The premise that one gender can ruin a workplace - I mean where to even start at debunking that? I invite the orig authors to shadow a woman surgeon or nurse for a day.

This book reframes conflict not as something to win or avoid, but to hold.

Conflict tolerance isn’t a soft skill, it’s a core skill in healthcare today.
