I’ve given half my life to medicine. And medicine wouldn’t give my husband a chest x-ray. Some kids stole a truck yesterday. And they almost stole my husband’s life alongside it. (1)

When applying for a job, a classic test is to ask a chef to make scrambled eggs or a mixologist to make lemonade. What test would you ask a surgeon to do? @elliotthaut @docmartin22 @JBMatthews @DissanaikeMD @DrHasanAlam @rwinfield11 @Jasosamd @SAGES_Updates @EAST_TRAUMA

Virtual Chicago Committee on Trauma Board Meeting last night. Discussed collaborative research projects, injury prevention initiatives and how to best care for our community in the COVID era.

McCormick Place repurposed. Come October this hall will hold the @AmCollSurgeons #ACSCC20 meeting. We will thank all those who stepped up to face this crisis head on. And we will honor those who did not make it through to the other side. @IDPH @ChicagoCOT illinoishelps.net

I learned so much from this! Excellent advice for all acute care surgeons! @RASACS @MAHEC_Surgery

Hi Stop the Bleed fans. Classes instructed by the Chicago Committee on Trauma instructors will be cancelled until at least March 30 for the safety of our instructors and the students. We will get things rescheduled in the future. @ChicagoCOT @StopTheBleedACS
