Using Pens not Knives

As surgeons, we have gained credibility in the operating room. Saving lives and improving our patients’ quality of life are integral parts of our daily work. The desire to help others, problem solve and create change in the world is not just limited to our work in the operating room. We can exponentially help others with more than a scalpel; we can pick up our pens and microphones and use our transferrable skills of leadership, problem-solving, and strong work ethic to change the world around us.

Now is an unprecedented time to get your voice heard. Social influencers are making big changes without the long lead time that we have had as surgeons. Self-publishing books is easier than the numerous rejections that you might get from a traditional publishing house. You can write a post and go viral. You can start a blog and share your knowledge across the world in as little as a day. The bar for entry is very low. The bar for success depends on what your bar is measuring.
