We were delighted this week to have Dr. Tarek Razek (https://twitter.com/Trazek) on the podcast with us. Dr. Razek is a trauma surgeon at McGill University and really a major figure in global surgery in Canada, and he pondered with us the questions with us of how we can best make an impact in global surgery without repeating the colonialism of the past. His approach is beautifully summarized in his piece published in the Lancet in 2015, where he wrote, “However, now that increasing attention is being paid to surgery in public health, we must also capitalise on this opportunity to move beyond descriptive studies.” Please enjoy our conversation with Dr. Razek.

The Montreal General Hospital was founded in 1821 and is famous for many medical firsts including the fact that its founding doctors established Canada’s first faculty of medicine program at McGill University. The hospital treated patients through several major outbreaks of disease from  the deadly flu pandemic of 1918 to the COVID-19 pandemic, and is now one of only three Level 1 trauma centres in the province of Quebec. It is part of Canada’s largest hospital system called the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC). 'No shortage of history makers' “The Montreal General Hospital has no shortage of history makers in its first 200 years,” said MUHC President and Executive Director Dr. Pierre Gfeller. “While Sir William Osler, credited with pioneering bedside teaching in Canada, is often named, consider that the hospital might not have existed as early as it did were it not for the Female Benevolent Society, which identified the need for the four-bed ‘House of Recovery’ to address poverty and illness in the city. Then there is Miss Nora Livingston, whose founding of the School of Nursing helped transform the profession, and Drs William Wright and Eleanor Percival, the hospital’s first Black and Female attending physicians. Their actions and those of many more have altered the course of our institution, health system and community." Sir William Osler, introduced the novel practice of having medical students learn not only in class but at patients' bedsides. (University of Pennsylvania archives) Cancer break though and pain research celebrated To celebrate the hospital’s 200th anniversary there will be a large-scale exhibition posted online and several other activities. The virtual exhibit is billed as a journey through the two centuries of hospital history, medical innovation and exceptional individuals and teams. It features photos, artwork, text and videos from local and national collections and takes viewers through the excitement of the biomedical revolution. It highlights breakthroughs such as Dr. Phil Gold and Dr. Samuel Freedman’s discovery of the first biomarker for cancer and Dr. Ronald Melzack's contributions to pain theory which paved the way for research and treatment.  Nora Livingston pioneered nursing education and introduced standards to elevate the level of patient care. (Montreal General Hospital) Hospital was funded through philanthropy The Montreal General Hospital was one of the first public healthcare institutions in Montreal, and it relied largely on funding from community sources. Although health care is publicly funded in Canada, the General still benefits greatly from philanthropy.  Besides the virtual exhibition, the year’s activities will include a book launch by celebrity hockey surgeon Dr. David Mulder and public lectures on topics ranging from Mental Health and Aging to Trauma and Emergency Care. The theme for this anniversary is Reaching and Exceeding and is inspired by the quote from the poet Robert Browning, “A man’s reach should exceed his grasp.” The logo features an infinity symbol, which the hospital says represents the endless pursuit of excellence of healthcare workers and support staff. The anniversary logo features an infinity symbol, meant to represent the endless pursuit of excellence. (MUHC)

George Zogopoulos, MD, PhD, FRCS(C), FACS is an Associate Professor of Surgery and Oncology at McGill University and a hepato-pancreato-biliary and transplant surgeon at the MUHC. He joins this week's episode of the Project Purple Podcast to shed some light on the life-saving work he is doing

Dr. Sudha Koppula not only serves and cares for her patients and their families but she is also fortunate enough to have a health team of colleagues helping her every step of the way to do so. Be it preventative care, a patient in crisis, or navigating safely through a pandemic, patient care is at the center of the Patient's Medical Home. The MUHC's design was not by accident, building an PMH was intentional as infrastructure to support a PMH is critical. Creating strong PMH health teams is an important and deliberate effort to build trusted relationships among patients, their family doctors, and their PMH health teams. And nurturing a patient relationship over time is at the foundation of family medicine and essential to a PMH. Listen to Sudha's story and how she and her practice are making a difference.

In this episode, I got to interview someone who I know extremely well and my first leadership role model – it’s my father – Jeff Smith. He is someone that has been able to accomplish a lot when it comes to leadership. He is currently the manager for the McGill University Health Center (or MUHC) medical records department for all sites in Montreal (pediatrics and adult sites). In addition, he has been the Quebec Provincial Commissioner for Scouts Canada, a 4 time Deputy National Commissioner for Scouts Canada and has received the Queen's Jubilee and Queen’s Diamond Jubilee awards, just to name a few. He has created and led multiple leadership training courses over the last 30 years and has led complex initiatives in the government sector. Also, he has chaired a number of national and international events through scouting and met with world leaders and European royalty. In this podcast, we discuss his leadership journey, his philosophy on creating a great team and his leadership heroes. At the end of the podcast I asked him a series of questions, questions I ask during a learning session with potential mentors. This episode you are about to hear was done in a single recording, no breaks. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/vozwin/support
