Tribute to the "Boss" David Feliciano

This is a re-broadcast to honour the memory of the "Boss" Dr. Feliciano.

Original shownotes:

It’s not an understatement to say that Dr. David Feliciano is a true giant in trauma surgery. Dr. David V. Feliciano received his medical degree in 1970 from Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. He completed his general surgery training at Mayo Clinic, in trauma at Wayne State University, and vascular surgery at Baylor College of Medicine (where he trained under Dr. DeBakey). He was Professor of Surgery at Emory University and Surgeon-in-Chief at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia from 1991 to 2011. He is now a Clinical Professor of Surgery at the University of Maryland and an attending surgeon at Shock Trauma.

We discuss with him how he recruited such amazing faculty, developing one’s technical skills, research, and the future of trauma.

3.“Leftovers” by Dr. Feliciano has one of the best lines in a paper ever: At this point, the chief surgical resident on the trauma service met with the attending surgeon for violating his own well-known rule—“wounds that don’t heal contain dead tissue, infected tissue, cancer, or a foreign body.” www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6263419/

We sat down with arguably the world expert on low anterior resection syndrome (LARS). Dr. Marylise Boutros (https://twitter.com/BoutrosMarylise) is an academic colorectal surgeon at Cleveland Clinic Florida. Dr. Boutros talks about her pioneering research to understand and treat the challenging functional issues that patients must contend with. 

We also discuss her move to the Cleveland Clinic and her advice for an academic surgical career.
