ROJoson Tips for General Surgeons (shortened title for ROJoson's Tips for General Surgeons to Be; ROJoson's TPORs [Thoughts, Perceptions, Opinions and Recommendations] for General Surgeons To Be)
Backgrounder:
I am a general surgeon by profession. I had my general surgery residency training program in the Department of Surgery of the Philippine General Hospital from 1976 to 1981.
I have been in private practice for about 36 years now (2018 - 1982). [UPDATE: 39 YEARS (2021-1982)] [UPDATE: 41 YEARS (2023-1982)] [UPDATE: 42 YEARS (2024 - 1982]
In my twilight years (I will be 70 on January 31, 2019; WILL BE 72 ON JANUARY 31, 2021; 74 ON JANUARY 31, 2023; 75 ON JANUARY 31, 2024), I like to give tips and TPORs to general surgeons to be. I have a son who will start training in general surgery in January 2019. [ON HIS 3RD YEAR NOW - 2021] [ON HIS 5TH YEAR NOW - 2023] {HE IS NOW A DIPLOMATE OF THE PHILIPPINE BOARD OF SURGERY - 2024}, I like to give him my tips and TPORs also.
Actually, I have been writing and posting tips and TPORs on the surgical profession for the past 36 years (1982 - 2018).[UPDATE: 39 YEARS (2021-1982)] [UPDATE: 41 YEARS (2023-1982] {UPDATE: 42 YEARS (2024-1982)}. These are all posted in the Internet.
This time, I like to consolidate and add more tips and TPORs having in mind the general surgeons to be (inclusive of my son).
Timeline: 5 years (November 2018 to December 31, 2024) [UPDATE: RESET AND REFOCUS IN FEBRUARY 1, 2023 - FIRST DAY AFTER MY 74TH BIRTHDAY] [UPDATE: RESET AND REFOCUS IN FEBRUARY 1, 2024 - FIRST DAY AFTER MY 75TH BIRTHDAY]
RESET TIMELINE: 5 YEARS (February 2023 to January 31, 2028 - with at least one formal "tip" writeup per month or total of 12 per year.) - 4 YEARS TO GO as of 2024 [May continue thereafter, after 2028.]
This will be and is part of my Education for Health Development in the Philippines Program. It will be my legacy for the general surgeons as well as to the Filipino patients they will be treating.
