What’s good!
I’m bringing two powerhouse Trauma Surgeons to chat about the outside of the box ways they’re connecting with their communities. Dr. Laurie Punch practices at Barnes – Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri. Dr. Brian Williams practices at the University of Chicago in Chicago, Illinois. We’re focusing on how violence is a public health issue and the long-lasting effects it has on communities.
Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
- What’s it like being on the police review boards for their respective cities
- Punch’s decision to live in Ferguson, Missouri
- We discuss should trauma surgeons live in the neighborhoods they serve
- Their experience with treating patients with Covid-19
