Jose Velasco, MD, is a general surgeon with RUSH. He specializes in surgical oncology and critical care. In this video, Dr. Velasco discusses providing compassionate care to patients and their families during difficult times. While research, publications, and teaching are important, the core of my work at RUSH is centered around listening to patients, connecting with them, and witnessing their recovery and return to their lives, which is truly rewarding and fulfilling.
