I have been at Wake Forest Baptist Health since 1982. I came here from Georgia for my residency and have been here ever since. Wake Forest Baptist Health is a very friendly environment, it's very patient-focused. We are friends with each other, we're friends with our patients, we take great care of each other and I think that translates to every level of care that we provide here. Otolaryngology is the specialty that deals with the head and neck- some people call it ENT. I take care of cancer patients so I deal with everything that has to with head and neck cancer- thyroid cancer, throat cancer, voice box cancer, salivary gland cancers and then as part of that, I deal with the reconstruction. So I do a lot of what is called microvascular reconstruction. I transfer tissue from one part of your body to reconstruct the defects that occur from a cancer operation. Head and neck cancer is only about 5% of all cancers and so they are a very unique population that inspires me. They're very dedicated to recovery and returning to their normal life. They bond with us, we bond with them. My family and myself have been admitted to Wake Forest Baptist Health as patients and those collective experiences that I have seen have really shaped- and I think in a very strong way- how I deal with patients. The overriding question that patients have- as myself and my family had- is: Will life go on as normal? Will I be able to return to what I did and the things I enjoy- what I consider to be me as I go forward? So I make sure that I try and communicate that with patients and try to team with them to get back to the kind of life they would like to have. So yes, it really has affected me.
