Arjun Watane, MD

[first day as an ophthalmology resident] Attending: go grab lunch Me: ok I’ll be back in 10 Attending: take 60

When I was accepted to med school in 2008 I told my mom, a life long tennis fan, that I would take her to Wimbledon one day. Last year, she was diagnosed with a high grade liposarcoma, which raised the Wimbledon urgency a bit. Radiation, multiple surgeries, and my own cardiac arrest later, here we are at Wimbledon, happy and healthy.

UNC 2 Miami 0 Anuj Watane 6-0, 6-1

1/2 Congrats to @ArjunWatane for his poster @VitBuckleSoc #vbs2024 on off label users of antivegf Using #iris registry data found about 1 in 5 unique pts had antivegf for a non fda approved condition (ie not #diabetes, #maculardegeneration or vein occlusions ) @aao_ophth

@ericsongg I'll buy it for you if you cover my call the rest of my residency

Our dream New Haven house is coming on sale. Can someone buy it for us.

It gets better in residency. I live above chipotle.

@Surgeon_General @DGlaucomflecken The moment right before you start to lose empathy for your patients is probably when you should stop and eat lunch/use the restroom/drink water @KhanRetina

ChatGPT integrated into Microsoft Word is nice and all, but the real game changer will be when it gets integrated into EPIC

What if your medicine pager had a yearly wrap-up like Spotify: "Care coordination defined your year" "In total you spent 36,722 minutes writing progress notes this year." "Let's run the list! - hottest anthem of 2022"

What if your pager had a yearly wrap-up like Spotify “Dry eye defined your year” “You frequented the neuro ICU for papilledema” "Phenylephrine was your top drop"

Hi this is ophthalmology what's your eye complaint? Oh, this hat? Nah you're just seeing floaters. Try artificial tears.

When consultants drop their recs but sprinkle in the "final recs pending attending attestation" so they don't get blamed

@peterlombard @O_OcOptho @aao_ophth Yes strab!

@ArjunWatane @O_OcOptho @aao_ophth Great let me know how it goes! Was your case a strab repair?

@peterlombard @O_OcOptho @aao_ophth ~60 year old. Agree! Probably better with children and will try tying the ends next time. Thanks!

@ArjunWatane @O_OcOptho @aao_ophth How old was your patient? Maybe works better in peds cases with thicker tenons. Would be pretty simple to tie the end too. Was thinking of ptrygium grafts or closing conj after putting in Ahmeds. In the full video does not look like they tie the ends.
