What conversations happen in and outside of the operating room, between surgeons, that patients don't often hear? What can be done to minimize the number of individuals who fall through the cracks of the U.S. healthcare system, so they can get the surgical care they need?
As a surgery resident and public health advocate, Dr. Anthony Douglas has seen the ways biases limit access for patients, leading to poor health outcomes, especially for the most vulnerable in one's communities. Deep Cuts, the first podcast from The University of Chicago Department of Surgery, addresses these questions while exploring why equity and community-focused care matter in surgery, and how these topics improve outcomes for the patients and communities served not only on the South Side of Chicago, but also across the United States of America.

What do surgeon interactions with the police look like in the hospital? — Dr. Priya Prakash, Sharnae Phagan, Dr. William McKinley, Dr. Annie Polcari, and Dr. Lea Hoefer
This episode, we are joined by Sharnae Phagan, Drs. Priya Prakash, Annie Polcari, Lea Hoefer, and William McKinley. We touch on what sort of scenarios the police might be involved in, and the challenges surgeons face when interacting with the police. We also discuss ways to best support our patients in high-intensity situations such as these. Alongside our discussion of police interactions in the hospital, our guests talk about the challenging impacts of gun violence on our community and how they can provide the best patient care in the face of such complex issues.
