I am going to talk to you today about legacy, and I hope to convince you that everyone can create a legacy. Everyone has the opportunity to make something lasting and something special. To create a legacy does require intentionality. You have to combine an ideawith passion in order for it to become a legacy. EAST, because of its size and reach, allows you to magnify that effect and create a much greater legacy, and it is of that which I hope to convince you. Author Shannon Alder writes, “Carve your names on hearts, not tombstones. A legacy is etched into the minds of others and the stories they share about you.” We leave legacies every day as trauma surgeons. We save lives. In a day's work, we create the legacy of a human life. We encourage patients. We tell them that they will get better and leave a legacy of hope. We comfort patients and families and leave a legacy of compassion
