Every child deserves hope — stories that inspire us all.

“We found Dr. Wittig after a long exhaustive and frustrating search that spanned several years. Within 3 weeks my wife was on the operating table under Dr. Wittig and team’s skillful hands, and 6 months post-op she has no pain after many. many years. Dr. Wittig and his team are a gift from the heavens. Unparalleled bed-side manner and as busy as he is, he gives you more time than you could ever ask for to listen and reassure you that he can get this fixed. Tremendous guy.”

Incredible day at Bergen Equestrian Center learning how horses can heal! Looking forward to a beautiful partnership between Pediatric Cancer Foundation - New Jersey and the Bergen Equestrian Center and offering their many healing programs to children with cancers and their families. The pediatric cancer foundation of New Jersey will focus on holistic healing. The brain can heal the body.

One of the biggest things I learned today was how horses keep your brain in the moment; they bring happy thoughts and since they are prey animals much of what they do revolves around safety and creating safe environments. All important for the child with cancer.

“Mental Health Matters in Medicine”

I am saddened to learn of a recent su***de by a medical student while on a surgery rotation. In retrospect, others saw subtle signs such as poor performance and poor attendance that suggested potential underlying mental health problems.

Prayers and condolences to the family. This is a real tragedy that could have been prevented had the signs been noticed and/or addressed by superiors.

It is imperative to raise awareness of su***de in medicine and in particular at the medical student and resident level where there is strong pursuit of perfection against a background of grueling hours, burnout, intense studying and strong personalities. In many instances mental health issues are seen as a weakness and medical students and residents won’t seek help out of fear for their jobs. We must destigmatize this to save many innocent lives who have so much to contribute and so many others to help.

We must also teach attendings and program directors to look for root causes and issues such as severe personality changes, frequent tardiness or absences and repeated poor clinical performance and poor performance on tests! These could all be signs of underlying mental health challenges. These signs often exist and are not probed and are dismissed as bad behavior. The student or resident may be chastised instead of supported.

Wellness initiatives and events that foster open and safe communication between students, residents and attendings/program directors are crucial.

“Suicide is the #1 cause of death among U.S. medical students and residents.
Awareness, compassion, and support can save lives.”

Let’s break the silence. Prioritize mental health for our future physicians.

Every child deserves hope — stories that inspire us all.

“I was fortunate to have found Dr. Wittig. I developed a sarcoma on my left thigh and Dr. Wittig operated on me Dec. 8, 2015. This doctor is a genius in his own right. His whole team are experts at what they do. I am alive today because of this fine doctor. If anyone of you that gets cancer, please see this doctor, you will not regret it. I can’t thank him enough.”
