We are so excited to celebrate rising chief @ryancohenmd's match today into MIS fellowship at @UCDavis_Surgery!! Congratulations, Ryan!

@TraumaSoapBoxes @CandaceWardMD reminds me of hearing “why are these hemorrhoids so sticky?!?” from a you-know-who we work with 😂

@MichaelDeene Almost ten years ago I remember hitting “submit” on my application. I was in a quiet cozy coffee shop in the suburbs. I wanted to jump on my chair and cheer but instead I ordered a celebration donut. It’s an amazing ride, wishing you the best of luck!

welp I just applied to medical school

@CPark_MD @mj_pucci @cutitoutPODCAS1 @DissanaikeMD @CandaceWardMD to keep in our lap chole toolbox

@mj_pucci @cutitoutPODCAS1 Agree with Dr @mj_pucci. Might be able to see CVS with retraction, but if not safe, fenestrate! I call this the “French Door” technique as illustrated by @DissanaikeMD in her work in JACS

A colleague at another hospital calls you with a gallbladder that looks like this. It is the middle of the night and the patient is unwell. They want to know what they should do.

@PapanikolaouDem @SurgeryEinstein It’s permanent!

Beyond thrilled to continue my surgical training at @SurgeryEinstein

@Rklawton @DrNeenaJha We are Dr and Dr - and we both have neutral first names. Really throws a spin on things 😏

@DrNeenaJha We're "Mr. & Dr." And I don't care if this leaves people wondering if I'm married to a man, woman, or non-binary person.

“Tick the box that applies to you” 🟦Mr 🟪Mrs 🟪Miss 🟪Ms It’s 2022. Can we finally STOP defining women by their marital status?!

@doc_on_the_run @rbarbosa91 My family is non-medical and I am applying to T/SCC/ACS fellowships this year so “Emergency Surgery” has helped them understand what I hope to do!

@rbarbosa91 I don’t think the name is the missing link in non-medical people understanding what we do.

In a hypothetical world, you get to pick the name of the specialty of those that do trauma/surg crit care/emergency gen surg. The name should be appealing, it shouldn’t be too long, and ideally the public should understand what the name means. What would you pick?
