Tom Watson talks about past days training models, malignant culture and stoicism

Tom Watson talks about past days training models, malignant culture and stoicism

Tom Watson is a thoracic surgeon of excellence and works at Corewell Health in Michigan.

A Midwestern boy by background he became part of the USC esophageal gang under the mentorship of Tom DeMeester.

He then spent 20 years at the University of Rochester where he rose through the ranks to become Professor of Surgery and then in 2016 moved to become a system chair at MedStar in Washington DC.

That wasn't an entirely happy experience and he talks about unhealthy organizational cultures being the trap that awaits the unwary.

He is now happily based near Detroit and once again a highly successful clinical academic surgeon. He talks about his newfound faith in the concept of stoicism, as well as his musical background in college where he played in abandon to make beer and food money.

Anyone planning to rise up through the ranks of Surgical leadership should listen to this interview and understand some of the real world challenges.
