What an amazing night last week watching the Guardians with our Cleveland Clinic Adult Reconstruction–CCARR research team and their families! ⚾️

I could not feel more fortunate to work alongside such an extraordinary group of people (Research coordinators, Research assistant, medical students, research fellowS, etc). What we accomplish and do matters, but the people, trust, and shared purpose behind it are what make the journey truly meaningful.

“The best interest of the patient is the only interest to be considered, and in order that the sick may have the benefit of advancing knowledge, union of forces is necessary.” — William J. Mayo, MD

Grateful for this team, our families, and the opportunity to keep building, learning, and advancing care together.

Go TEAM! ⚾️❤️ #TripartiteMission

🚨 Hydration breaks have to go @FIFAcom @FIFAWorldCup

Let’s stop pretending these are about football.

Players already hydrate during injuries, substitutions, VAR reviews, and goal celebrations. If player safety is the priority, let them drink during those natural stoppages.

Instead, every match gets an extra 90-second TV timeout that kills momentum, cools the atmosphere, and disrupts the rhythm of the game. 📺💰

Football isn’t basketball or American football. Its beauty is the continuous flow. ⚽❤️

Bring back uninterrupted football.

Who else is ready to end the commercial timeout disguised as a hydration break? 👇

No respect for the status quo.

Respect people,
respect data,
respect patients

…but never unquestioned dogma.

Progress happens when we challenge assumptions and refuse to accept “this is how we’ve always done it.” 🏥
