Surgeons Who Cuddle – #ILookLikeASurgeon

S

ILookLikeASurgeon

Heather Logghe, MD is helping change the world by reaching out to surgeons around the world (including veterinary surgeons), asking them to send pictures for her #ILookLikeASurgeon campaign. Her goal is to help end stereotypes surrounding what skilled medical professionals look like. Her astoundingly hard work encouraging people to participate has made this a global phenomenon. You can learn more about the #ILookLikeASurgeon campaign through her blog Allies for Health or on her twitter page.

I love this picture because I feel it shows that even though I am a true professional, it is my love and joy that makes me such a compassionate and careful surgeon for animals. I feel like I look girly in this picture but that femininity is also what telegraphs how much I love and care for my patients. I am young and when I walk into a room people are often surprised, but I’ve come to find it fun to exceed people’s expectations and dispel their stereotypes.
