Wafik El-Deiry: I missed an important social event but patients always come first

Wafik El-Deiry shared a post on LinkedIn:

“No one seems to be in the hallway behind me near the Ambulatory Patient Center APC Building at Rhode Island Hospital after a long clinic yesterday.

I missed an important social event at The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University at the time but for me my patients and the care they get always comes first.”
