This is my request for commentaries we plan on publishing each month in the ARCHIVES. We want to hear from our editorial board, our invited reviewers, and our readership on how they feel on any topic of their choice. We are looking for clinical, research, educational, political, or other passions that you would like to tell us about. We would like the commentary section to allow our readership to feel the “pulse” of surgery throughout the United States as well as internationally as many of our editors and readers are from many foreign countries. These should be short (1400 words) and poignant—make us think and feel!
