Across surgical specialties around the world, clinicians experience emotional, physical and mental exhaustion. Studies have shown that rises in burnout are associated with self-reported perceptions of major medical errors, decreased efficacy and time in practice, and mental health issues. And a deeper loss can be felt in patients who lose a trusted provider, in teams stretched thinner and in communities left without the care they depend on. Indeed, the cost isn’t just financial. ​ Read the full article at the link:

Women need more implant options—and sizes—post-mastectomy. New advances are helping to close the gap. Until recently, variability in breast implant sizing was limited, particularly for patients with larger bodies. New options are providing more choices—and more satisfactory results.
