Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "[JD Vance]'s comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

@SGereta @DellMedSchool Consider OHSU for residency - you can climb at Smith Rock

@michaelconlin @DellMedSchool Never been! - tried to go once and it was closed for hunting 😳

👋 #MedTwitter! With ERAS submitted, I want to re-introduce myself – I'm Sofia, a student at @DellMedSchool applying into #Urology. I'm interested in value-based care, patient-reported outcomes, & urologic oncology. Ask me about rock climbing, sci-fi books, & my two cats!

@paulwgoldberg @shortstein @arxiv Agree. The reality is there is value in both peer review and arxiv formats for publishing. Flawed papers will be present in both systems

@chris_nahm I found it faster to push through the extra bit rather than an extra pull. This technique works great when you are following yourself on vascular anastomoses like renal transplantation. Love it!

Here it is in close up. Turn needle through tissue. Then either push through a bit, or pull through from the other side. Practice grabbing needle on other side so it is ready to go for the next bite. Economy of movement. Remember to turn through curvature of needle. 2/5

Simple things surg regs should practice #1. One-handed suturing. This has come in super handy for me in tricky situations when one hand is either retracting something, plugging a hole in a blood vx or just holding the thread. 1/5

@ResaMagill @OHSUurology Welcome to the program, and the Northwest. My family and I made the trip from Texas to OHSU urology 34 years ago. Let me know if you need some bbq.

I am SO EXCITED and grateful to have matched at @OHSUurology!! Thank you to all the amazing mentors and family who have helped me along the way, cannot wait for this next chapter!!

@jonc101x @jd_wilko Do you have a preferred source for this help?

@jd_wilko Also for real, I hire virtual assistant help specifically for things like these. Send them the file and ask them to do the data entry / transcription.

@vivnat @GoogleHealth @GoogleAI @DeepMind @thekaransinghal @AziziShekoofeh @alan_karthi Great work. This is exciting, and your paper nicely captures the significant limitations that remain, and a path for improvement. Well done.

Delighted to share our new @GoogleHealth @GoogleAI @Deepmind paper at the intersection of LLMs + health. Our LLMs building on Flan-PaLM reach SOTA on multiple medical question answering datasets including 67.6% on MedQA USMLE (+17% over prior work). arxiv.org/abs/2212.13138

@sbinhamrii @PETRAurogroup @PEARLSendouro I agree with this. Also, I feel it is important to move the stone/fragments away from the point of inflammation to complete the laser lithotripsy. And I use tandem stents

🔴 #Laser is my choice in impacted Stone 🔴 Remember Laser is Light ... Light is Heat 🔴 Use Very Low Power to minimize the Ureteric wall insult 🔴 Do only the Center & Fragments will fall into You with Venturi Effect ⚪ Do it with Passion @PETRAurogroup @PEARLSendouro

@sbinhamrii @BaderAlsaikhan @PETRAurogroup @wissamabokhalid Access sheath

🔴As i received more of such cases post #URS 🔴I always asking myself what went wrong to come up with such Ugly multiple strictures #Ureter 🔴What are the #Pitfalls ???? 🔴Referred for Full ureteral reconstruction @BaderAlsaikhan #Endourology @PETRAurogroup @wissamabokhalid

@sbinhamrii @UROSOME @PETRAurogroup Two 6Fr stents (side by side) for 4-6 weeks. You've got one chance to prevent a potential life-altering problem. Tandem stents are surprisingly well tolerated.

@AKapadiaMD @ABUrology @OHSUurology @uwurology Congratulations! So proud of you.

Board Certified @ABUrology!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Indebted to incredible mentors and colleagues who’ve taught me not only urology, but more importantly good patient care. @OHSUurology @uwurology

@abidlabs @zhiva_ai Thank you both for your suggestions. I will check out these tools soon.

@zhiva_ai @michaelconlin To add to that, Gradio will let you create Svelte-based web apps entirely in Python. Great for web apps that work with data, lmk if you need any tips!

I am a physician in a graduate CS program, hoping to create open-source tools for patient care. I want to build a svelte-based patient-facing web app for a summer class project, and I need an industry mentor. Any suggestions? @sveltejs @Rich_Harris

@wesbonifay May I ask what tools you used to create this slide? It’s quite nice.

@PatrickSelph A curved tip glidewire is one of my favorite tools, but it is for gaining access only. Immediately exchange for a cheap teflon wire. But I'm guessing you already figured that out.

Glide wires are crap

@urogeek @pfizer Thanks for sharing your love for your father, Dave. I like his golf blanket too. Peace

This is my dad who is in a nursing home with dementia. I took this yesterday- which was the first day I had been allowed/able to see him in nearly a year. It was also the same day he got vaccinated so hopefully I can now start seeing him more regularly again. THANK YOU @pfizer.

@dr_hhq The ureteroscopy is often easier than expected when I have treated entombed stents like this.

@rileyendouro Feedback to the editors would be very appropriate

I get that you don’t like the manuscript submitted but I think it might be a little harsh. Also pretty sure pathology is a patient care specialty. Anyone ever give feedback to the editors that maybe the reviewer was not appropriate?

Hey @wesbos, you kindly answered this question for me a year ago. I wonder if your answer has changed now that you've built your #Gatsby course?
