Almost always, there’s a story to be heard and told. Can you discern, dissect and suture stories together to help others make sense of it all? What’s your story?26 Aug 2026 22:41 +0000at://did:plc:vdjrt3bw6we3kmbtec5i6av4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtzfqkmfqk2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/drericlevi.bsky.social/post/3mtth5ckse22jTrust. The fundamental base of human relationship. If I can’t trust you to keep your end of the deal, what’s the point of the relationship. If you signed a deal and then stab us in the back, what’s the point of the deal in the first place. We trade on trust.24 Aug 2026 13:50 +0000at://did:plc:vdjrt3bw6we3kmbtec5i6av4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtth5ckse22jhttps://bsky.app/profile/drericlevi.bsky.social/post/3mtsqxywt622uI did my Advanced Head & Neck, Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Fellowship in Canada.

The country was poor but the people are kind and courteous.

This one is messing up with my head and heart. The Siren song. The temptation of wanting to live another life at the expense of living this one.

Teach your kids to pay attention. Drop the heroin-addiction of screens. Play a long game. Do long sports. Read books. Those who can master attention will lead those who can’t.15 Jul 2026 03:15 +0000at://did:plc:vdjrt3bw6we3kmbtec5i6av4/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqnqxiirds2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/drericlevi.bsky.social/post/3mqldw757c22qIf you can, go where you’ll grow and you get to help others grow.
