@mcstroth @RandallsPlaque @Dansko Second the crocs. I have a pair of these stashed at each of the places I operate. Throw em away every year or so. Easily washable. Comfortable.

@RandallsPlaque @Dansko Standard crocs. Bought mine for $35 as an intern, wore almost every day for 8.5 years including biking to and from work crocs.com/p/bistro-clog/…

These @Dansko lasted me all of training. Today I retire them 😔… Alright Twittersphere, what OR shoes do you recommend????

@BrownJHM A better question is why would a middle aged individual be on a daily antibiotic for UTI prophylaxis?

A middle aged patient presented with acute onset of ankle pain while playing squash. He takes ciprofloxacin daily for UTI prophylaxis. What is the likely diagnosis? #medtwitter

@JaganKansalMD I’d almost rather that than the “radiographic varicocele” in a guy with a normal exam but orchalgia.

Patient has a clear grade 3 varicocele. 🤷🏽‍♂️. Don’t rely on scrotal imaging for the diagnosis.

@JaganKansalMD Be prepared to go through a lot of loops. I have done one TURP after a UroLift and think I broke 5 loops in total. Definite learning experience.

TURP s/p Urolift, any difference using monopolar vs bipolar?

@selmasic @shekabhishek @AUCStoneGuy @uretericbud My first day operating with RU in fellowship we did 2 partials and a lap radical (3 different patients). Path on all 3 was oncocytoma. What are the odds of that?

@shekabhishek @AUCStoneGuy @uretericbud Yes one was a central 7 cm mass (partial npx, path onco w sinus fat invasion), one was 15 cm (lap radical, onco w/ sinus fat and perinephric fat invasion). Biopsy def worthwhile, but i worry about tumor heterogeneity in larger masses—you?

64 yr old male with uncontrolled high blood pressure. His cardiologist ordered a CT scan to evaluate for renal artery stenosis. CT showed a 10 cm renal mass concerning for RCC.

@daviesbj @wandering_gu Is that meat?

Missed my trip to Puerto Rico but @wandering_gu in characteristic fine form somehow found a PR restaurant in Pittsburgh (?). And it's awesome

@dytcmd Add Professional zen guru to the list of specialties. It’s fine. Calming breaths.

Now that I got started looking at myself on the web, I’m learning I am way more accomplished than I realized 🤷🏻‍♂️

@SPuro88 Got a call a few weeks ago asking if my post op cystectomy could have a regular diet at 1am. He was like 5 hours post op. There was an NPO order that I had put in.

Really could have done without the 2am call saying a patient’s Foley bag became disconnected from the catheter and wanted recommendations on what to next/if I could come in and evaluate.

Did 2 cystoscopies in afternoon clinic today. Combined age of the two patients? 190 years young.

@JaganKansalMD I’d do the IPP first and then aspirate the hydrocele in the office every few months. Throw in a UroLift or two too. Kidding, of course. I’d just take his prostate out…

IPP question. Patient wants IPP with moderate size hydrocele. BMI 40. No previous surgeries. How do you manage?

@daviesbj Reminds me of one of my guys who sees a veterinarian to treat his GG 5 prostate CA with a PSA of like 900. They’ve been using arsenic on a piece of toast weekly or something…. Multiple certified letters sent.

Acupuncture didn't take

@kjdelay1 Patient will be dead in <6 months.

Recon uros: penile calciphylaxis, observe as long as you can right? HBO?

@JaganKansalMD I’d send him to you…

How would you approach it?

Volumes increasing, finally convinced the hospital to buy these! Just in time for a difficult case next week. Hx of 11 priapisms with bilateral fat inguinal hernias. How would you approach?

@dytcmd @FCUroOnc @AdrienBernstein @mcstroth @Aeen_A @allisih @FoxChaseCancer

Welcoming a new academic year, the new resident team in place @FCUroOnc And the senior fellows @AdrienBernstein @mcstroth coming back for a final hoorah #NewProfilePic

@dytcmd @FoxChaseCancer @Robert_Uzzo @FCUroOnc @FCCCSurgOnc @RosaliaViterbo @uretericbud @UroCorrea Once you go XI you don’t go back. You guys will love it. Makes kidney cases (particularly nephroU) so much easier.

Did @FoxChaseCancer’s first robot case with @Robert_Uzzo more than 15 years ago, and wrapped up the final case with that machine today, she’s headed out to pasture. Trained on by every fellow to date. Thank you Rosie. (2006-2021) End of an era (And tomorrow the Xi era begins)

@MSemins @dytcmd You’ll be happy to know I still call dusting settings “Semins settings.” No one here has any idea what I’m talking about and I get strange looks, but 0.2 and 50 will forever be “Semins settings”

@dytcmd @btkmduro Congrats!

Board-Certified!

@eys_cho @Jeffrey_L_Ellis Contgrats Jeff. I'm in Chi suburbs. Went to Loyola for med school and know the folks there well. You're in for a good few years. Great crew.

Celebrating with my brother @Jeffrey_L_Ellis on fellowship match. 9 years of friendship, one of the first friends I made in Philadelphia.

@AnandBadriMD @ABUrology @AmerUrological I just took them - pretty fair and definitely covered a broad range of topics. AUA guidelines are really helpful. Do a review course to learn the format.

@cchildersmd We have an alternate brand scope warmer at our place and I call it the “Kirkland brand” warmer.

What do you call this? Clearify? D help? Igloo? Bunny butt?
