@Herniadoc @dgsomucla Well deserved

One of the best Christmas gifts I could have received 🎄🎁: After years of unwavering commitment to surgical education, I am grateful, honored, and incredibly excited! 🎉🎓 to have been promoted to Volunteer Clinical Professor of Surgery @dgsomucla 🏥✨ This is the highest attainable milestone as a surgeon in private practice, and I’m deeply thankful to those who supported this journey every step of the way 🙏🏼🤝

Reports from West #Darfur received today unveil that 773 African civilians including mostly teenagers, but women and elderly as well, have been massacred by the Jihadi #Janjaweed in the #Geneina area. Reports talks about hundreds burned and many detained and brutalized on their way for exodus. The Janjaweed are allies to a network of militias in the Middle East and North Africa that includes #Hamas and #Hezbollah. Voices from Darfur are urging the US and Europe, as well as the Arab League to intervene at once.

There will be no protests in the West about Pakistan's treatment of Afghan refugees because the protests in the West are not about the wellbeing of refugees; they are about demonizing Jews.

@siadaneshmand Even as a resident you looked the part. Very professional and chique

I always wear a suit to daily rounds and in clinic. Some patients ask me if I’m the surgeon!

@Herniadoc @EricKnauerMD @VNikolian @SAGES_Updates @sdavis81 @kjdelay1 @IHC_hernia @abhishekpar @MISIRG1 @JustinHoumanMD Looks like a prominent vasal artery. Could use Firefly to see if it’s a vessel.

@EricKnauerMD @VNikolian @SAGES_Updates @sdavis81 @kjdelay1 @IHC_hernia @abhishekpar @MISIRG1 We need some experts here to help. Any thoughts @JustinHoumanMD @DrJosephson ?

Duplicated or double vas? sure looked like it, what do you think? @Herniadoc @VNikolian @SAGES_Updates @sdavis81 @kjdelay1 @IHC_hernia @abhishekpar @MISIRG1

@Herniadoc @amikisz @HXtensions robokiller?

Did everyone check out this articulating set of laparoscopic instruments. Including the hook!? Amazing. And so ergonomically light and simple. Congrats @amikisz and @HXtensions team. 💪🏻 #SAGES2021

@KenJacobsohn @seaspiracy Thanks for the tip. Watched it as well. Eye opening facts about the impact of fishing on the environment.

Watched @seaspiracy 🥲 Should be mandatory viewing. Know where your food comes from. Eat tofu!

Just in time for the potential surge.

Thank you to the @ReprodMed_SMRU Traveling Scholars program for the opportunity to present our work on the impact of a walnut-rich diet on male fertility at the @ReprodMed 2020 Virtual Congress. @UroResidentsCS

@Herniadoc I had a great time discussing the overlap between hernia and prostate issue with you. Thanks for a wonderful way to spend the afternoon.

So many questions answered today on HerniaTalk with @DrJosephson about your prostate and how it relates to your hernia. If you missed it, go to my YouTube channel to watch and share: youtu.be/HYSCDAWhRao

Did you know, your #prostate problem can: - make your #hernia worse? - cause #pelvicpain? - complicate your #herniasurgery? - cause hernia recurrence? #HerniaTalk **LIVE** Q&A w/ @DrJosephson will discuss all of that! Oct 13, 4:30pm Pacific (GMT -7) us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

@JenAngerMD @UroResidentsCS Taking one for the “team”. Hope your dad gets better soon.

Can 2020 get any weirder? Sitting in the hospital with my dad (admitted against his will for cellulitis) and his roommate’s doctor just asked me to place a foley! @UroResidentsCS

@KenJacobsohn @drjnwarner @COHurol @ClaytonLauMD @cityofhope @Dr_TimWilson You had what it takes to b a great physician and surgeon. I want to hear more about “lifestyle medicine”. Sounds like something I could be good at. 😀

@drjnwarner @COHurol @ClaytonLauMD @cityofhope I owe my success to the training and people @cityofhope @COHurol @ClaytonLauMD @DrJosephson @Dr_TimWilson I honor their skill, dedication, patience and wisdom every day.

Making @COHurol @ClaytonLauMD proud! @cityofhope. Us new timers hear all the good stories.

Garden veggies finally ready to harvest. I have much more respect for farmers after this experience.

You may have heard that the US Capitol Building was built with slave labor. That's true. But what most people don't know is the extraordinary story behind the statue that sits on the top of the dome, called The Statue of Freedom. This thread is going to be worth your time. 1/17
