Hugh Auchincloss Hugh, It was a very sad moment for our profession. Clearly, we have a lot of work to do to support and respect everybody in cardiothoracic surgery regardless of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, Country of origin Our differences are what make us better!

Natalie Lui There is such an opportunity for the The Society of Thoracic Surgeons to put this moment to good use, but deleting the video and issuing no statement after 48 hours are not promising starts

Great to have us UW-Madison Department of Surgery alumni represented at #STS2023 . Callistus Ditah

This highlights just how much more work needs to be done to educate everyone, especially our leaders; we think we’re doing well addressing our biases, then this happens. And it’s not just once, changing minds takes constant work. Huge wake up call for everyone.

I became a Thoracic surgeon because I love the field and caring for patients. I am not here to fill a diversity quota or because of luck. I worked really hard and earned my place. DEI is critical and should matter to everyone The Society of Thoracic Surgeons LatinoSurgSociety MUSC Department of Surgery
