2023 Excelsior Surgical Society/Churchill Lecture

This episode features M. Margaret “Peggy” Knudson, MD, FACS, a trauma surgeon from San Francisco, California, who delivered the Excelsior Surgical Society/Edward D. Churchill Lecture at ACS Clinical Congress 2023. Her lecture, “Service, Synergy, and Surgical Mythology,” describes her experiences with the military, the synergy between military and civilian surgeons, and some myths about treatment of the injured. Dr. Knudson cedes some of her lecture time so that the audience could hear the personal story of a special guest—television journalist Bob Woodruff, who was severely injured in 2006 while reporting on the war in Iraq.
