#followyourheart... just one of many pearls of wisdom you’ll hear from our passionate panel: Adina Feinberg, MD, FRCSC and Ariel Lefkowitz, MD, FRCPC.

Host Cameron Wong facilitates a truly friendly debate on Surgery vs Medicine (aka Medicine vs Surgery!). What do you love? What sparks and fires your drive? How do you see your relationship with your patients? What inspires you? 

There’s tons of great insight packed into this episode. Dr. Feinberg and Dr. Lefkowitz debunk the notion of ‘thinkers’ and ‘doers’ in the hospital. You’ll learn about the similarities… both are working toward a common goal:  of course, the wellbeing of their patients, but as important is a healthy and respectful (and fun) work environment.

There are loads of takeaways for sure, but one thing that threads through all aspects of this discussion… surgery and medicine are simply collaborative across the board!
