Sissy acknowledges that, “I still wake up every day with pain and am finding new things that are bothersome.” However, despite all the hurdles, Sissy is “amazed and proud of all that she has accomplished during her time here at UT.” In closing, Sissy would like to ask past residents to consider “paying it forward” by sending in donations towards providing additional resources for the current residents so that we can continue to have a very high success rate in the ABIM board examination each year. We are extremely thankful to Sissy for her many years of extraordinary service to the department.
