I Will Deliver UW-Madison Otolaryngology Grand Rounds Next Wednesday

I am honored to give Otolaryngology Grand Rounds on Wednesday, September 17, 2025 at 7:30 AM (CDT) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I am grateful for the invitation from my friend and former resident, Sandra Lin, MD, FARS, FAAOA, the department chair.

I hope to provide an introduction to Narrative Medicine, emphasizing the value of Attention, Representation, Affiliation, and Creativity. I will share a bit of my journey and point them toward some remarkable surgeon-writers who have inspired me, including Atul Gawande, Sherwin Nuland, Carol Scott-Conner, Bud Shaw, Henry Marsh, Paul Kalanithi, and Richard Selzer. If all goes well, the audience might have the opportunity to revive their writing chops, as well.

The presentation will be livestreamed. The link is here.

If you are in Madison, drop in!
