View Additional Photos from GLMS Events: Past GLMS President James Patrick Murphy, MD, MMM, also reflected on the event. “I really enjoy Wear the White Coat as it allows me to pause and reminds me why I’m so fortunate and blessed to do this.” GLMS Board Chair Bruce Scott, MD, talks about his time with Rip Rippetoe, president/CEO of the Kentucky State Fair Board. Remy Noble, project manager of the Humana Foundation, shadowed Dr. Murphy and praised the work of his office. “It’s obvious how much passion Dr. Murphy has for his patients. It’s remarkable how everyone in the office worked together. He just makes it look so easy, and I can see why his patients love him so much.” Louisville Metro Councilman Steve Magre was partnered with Wayne Tuckson, MD, and also remarked on the team atmosphere in the operating room. “I saw the team concept first hand. Dr. Tuckson is an incredible leader. He made the team feel so at ease and so connected. The nature of his knowledge, the patience to get everything lined up, it was really an incredible experience. This isn’t about fun and games or money. It’s really about the oath on the white coat.” Preparations have already begun for the sixth Wear the White Coat program taking place next year.
