We are delighted to release our new collaborative mini-series on “Medico-legal Risks for
the Surgeon”. The Canadian Medical Protective Association and the Cold Steel podcast
have teamed up to release this mini-series exploring some common legal issues that
might arise for surgeons.In this first episode, we explore some basic legal issues that surgeons might face. We
explore the peer-review system, documentation, inherent risk, the role of the system in
medico-legal errors, and the impact these issues have on surgeons.
Stay tuned for our other episodes!Bio:
Dr. Richard Mimeault completed his medical degree at McGill University in 1982. He
went on to do an internship at the Wellesley Hospital in Toronto, followed by a general
surgery residency in Ottawa and then a two-year transplant fellowship at the University
Hospital in London, Ontario. In 1989, he returned to Ottawa where he started a practice
of general and hepatobiliary surgery at the Ottawa Hospital. He was in practice for 27
years during which time he was closely involved with the residency training program
and undergraduate education. He was also peer assessor for the College of Physicians
and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) and volunteered in third-world surgery and surgical
education. He joined the CMPA as a physician advisor in 2017.Links:

The tremulous surgeon seems like such an oxymoron, an impossible paradox. The reality of course, is that many surgeons have a tremor. Our discussion on this episode with Lilli Cooper on tremors was a wonderful exploration of performance anxiety in surgery. Lilli Cooper is a plastic surgeon in the UK, and produced a segment for the BBC on tremors in surgeons. We caught up with her to talk about what she’s learned about tremors and the insights she has on performance in surgery. You can check out all the work she does on her website https://lillicooper.co.uk/.

We’re really excited to bring you talks that we recorded as part of the CANUCS Surgical Fellows course. CANUCS is a national organization that stands for Canadian collaborative on urgent care surgery. Dr. Chad Ball and Kelly Vogt were instrumental in bringing together some really fantastic speakers to talk about the critical knowledge and skills that surround obtaining a staff job, as well as being successful both personally and professionally in a demanding career.
Dr. Morad Hameed is an innovator, leader, and trauma surgeon. He currently is the chief of acute care surgery at Stanford University and held many leadership roles within Canada. We don’t really think we can do justice to this talk. Nominally this talk was about transitions in practice during a surgical career, but really this talk was an ode to joy in surgery and how we can find fulfillment as both surgeons and human beings.
As always, we’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback, so please email us at [email protected].
Bio:
Morad Hameed is a trauma surgeon, intensivist, and public health researcher. He completed medical school and surgical residency at the University of Alberta, graduate studies in public health at Harvard University, and fellowships in Trauma Surgery and Surgical Critical Care at the University of Miami. He spent 3 years on the surgical faculty at the University of Calgary, before moving to the University of British Columbia (UBC), where he spent 19 years at the Vancouver General Hospital (VGH), which is the home of province-wide centers of excellence in trauma surgery and critical care.
His clinical interests span innovations in trauma surgery and emergency general surgery (including chest wall trauma, abdominal wall reconstruction, and applications of extracorporeal life support in trauma), process and quality improvement, surgical rescue, value-based healthcare, and surgical systems. He has been a committed surgical educator who served as the director of one of Canada’s most dynamic surgical residency programs, and one of its most accomplished trauma and acute care surgery fellowship programs. He has won divisional, departmental, hospital-wide, and province-wide awards for his teaching. His main research interest is in public health aspects of trauma and emergency surgery, including social determinants of health and disparities in access to high quality emergency surgical care, and his research programs have received support from the Michael Smith Foundation and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.
Dr. Hameed’s leadership roles have included terms as the Head of the VGH and UBC Divisions of General Surgery and President of the Canadian Association of General Surgeons. His work with these organizations has prioritized creativity, innovation, inclusive networks, and cross-disciplinary partnerships to rethink and redesign systems of surgical care.
He is excited to arrive at Stanford, where he is blessed to begin to work with another exceptionally talented group of trauma and acute care surgeons and intensivists. At Stanford, Dr. Hameed is inspired to help build surgical services that explore the intersections of surgery with data science, organizational theory, public health, global health, and sustainability, and that contribute to the pursuit of universal access to high quality surgical care and the highest standards of human health in California and around the world.Links:

In many philosophical and religious traditions, there is an emphasis on how intentionality is one of the fundamental tenets of being able to live a fulfilling life. Marcus Aurelius wrote, “You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this and you will find strength.” One surgeon who is trying to restore that intentionality back to the culture of surgery is Dr. Sharon Stein. Dr. Stein is a colorectal surgeon who has been at the pinnacle of academic surgery and has been among many other things the past president of the Association of Women Surgeons, Chair of American College of Surgeons Women in Surgery Committee, and an executive council of the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons. Recently, Dr. Stein started the Intentional Surgeon podcast, dedicated to helping surgeons rediscover their purpose. We had a powerful discusson on a whole myriad of topics, with the throughline of how we can try to restore intentionality and purpose to everything that we do. You can find Dr. Stein on her website www.intentionalsurgeon.com and you can also email her at [email protected] as well as on X at @slssteinmd1.

In this episode, we spoke with Drs. Jen McCall and Romy Nitsch about imposterism. Dr. McCall is a minimally invasive gynecology fellow at the University of Ottawa and Dr. Nitsch is a minimally invasive gynecologist at Queen’s University. The two researchers, along with Jessica Pudwell and Jamie Pyper, recently published a study in the Journal of American College of Surgeons on imposter phenomenon in women surgeons. Their study highlights the near universal phenomenon of imposter phenomenon among women surgeons, some of the risk factors associated with imposterism, and perhaps some strategies for how we might mitigate it.

Dr. Bellal Joseph is a trauma surgeon and the chief of the division of trauma, surgical critical care, burns, and acute care surgery at the University of Arizona in Tucson. While it was impossible to delve into the breadth and depth of his research interests, we did explore some of our favorites with Dr. Joseph, including his ongoing investigation into new technologies like REBOA, traumatic brain injuries, and frailty in surgery. What shines through in this conversation is Dr. Joseph’s incredible authenticity, energy and passion for injured and disadvantaged patients, as well as his vision for how physicians can embrace their own brand.

Most of us come out of training and have no idea on how to balance a busy clinical practice, academic interests, and most importantly, our home and personal lives. Mr. Adi Kumar is trying to change that. Mr. Kumar is a consultant neurosurgeon in the UK and has written a book called Work Less, Live More: The Doctor’s Guide for Time Freedom. We caught up with him to talk about his unconventional academic interests and his thoughts on how we as physicians can lead more fulfilling lives.
