@DrCMcDermott @MichaelChaikof Ligasure for ectopics: more costly, greater environmental impact and no benefit to patient or organization in straight forward cases.

@MichaelChaikof I trained before ligasures were mainstream. The thought of spending that much on something that can be easily done with a reuseable instrument makes me sick

Hey #obgyn peeps - I’m curious about something: if you are taking a patient to the OR for an ectopic, do you routinely open a disposable vessel sealer (eg ligasure)?
Comment where you work (country, city, academic vs community) and your other reasons!

@nariel_137 @AcademicChatter “I’m not sure you’re ready for this director position yet. You still have young children at home.” Fast forward - director undergraduate education 12 years, director fac dev 7 years, and now department chief with 4 amazing adult children who have equally amazing careers.

I am curious, what is the worst career advice you have ever received?

Meet Joan Seeram, an environmental services worker at St. Michael's Hospital and today’s 'Front-line Hero.' Physicians there say Seeram "continues to do this hard work with a smile and grace — even with the added fear that COVID brings."

Graphs are useful but to really get what that rising curve is, have a look at the obituaries page of this Bergamo daily newspaper, comparing one from February with one from now

And proud of @SMHObGyn Fetal Assessment Unit & Obs Ultrasound which are integrated into low risk& high risk pregnancy clinics-all on one floor for easy access to expert care. Results shared same day with our patients. #patientcentred #pregnancy @EliShoreMD @drnimmis #ultrasound

So important to know size, number and location of #fibroids when considering surgery. @DrSonySinghMD gives much needed advice @SMHObGyn Women’s Health Symposium. #womenhealth @uoftobgyn @UnityHealthTO

@AndreasXyrichis @CAIPEUK Sounds like having a massive transfusion protocol could have saved a life. @SMHObGyn @UnityHealthTO, MTP is activated by the patient’s physician with an immediate co-ordinated inter-disciplinary response. OB hemorrhage is a main activation criteria. #patientsafety #teamwork

Regarding female surgeons earning less than their male counterparts despite working just as hard, @fdossa says it’s the system that needs to change, not the female surgeons or the women who want to be surgeons on @cbcradio this morning! @StMikesHospital @JAMASurgery @enenbee
English
Kudos to @fdossa @AndreaSimpsonMD @enenbee and their research team for digging deeper to confirm that female surgeons work equally hard as male surgeons but for less pay. Now, how do we fix this? Can’t wait for your next paper! @StMikesHospital
Unity Health Toronto@UnityHealthTO
A study led by our Dr. Nancy Baxter (@enenbee) and Dr. Fahima Dossa (@fdossa) has found that female surgeons in Ontario earn 24 per cent less per hour while operating compared to male surgeons. bit.ly/2poRWzl @ICESOntario
