@Awesomecloss Hi Hugh! I’d be happy to do a GR on endometriosis for the non-gyn surgeon if you ever want

@AshleyGWinter @ISSWSH I always think I can pump during breaks at meetings but end up talking to ppl. If mtg does not have CCTV in lactation room you will miss a ton of the meeting. Now my setup for just pumping in front of others is the Baby Buddha and Freemie slim cups. & have hotel freeze milk!

I am traveling to a conference next week (yay @isswsh!) without the baby & need to pump- please share your best tips for air travel & hotel stay while pumping. Thanks in advance!

Current @bidmcobgynrez and future @FMIGS1 @TesiaKim presents a video @AAGL #AAGL22 on early ureterolysis for peritonectomy for #endometriosis

Amazing @bidmcobgynrez Chelsea Manning presents research #AAGL22 on racial disparities in utilization of #MIS #hysterectomy. Black pts >2x likely to have open surgery, & even after correcting for everything under the 🌞, 42% diff cannot be explained by clinical factors alone.

I loved seeing all of the award winning abstract presentations this am - from novel uses of Firefly tech to #PelvicPain exam 💎’s - showing off the breadth of #MIGS @AAGL #AAGL22

I feel like I have been seeing more & more young pts with #adenomyosis - it’s nice to see that others are exploring #FertilitySparingTreatment of adenomyosis beyond throwing hormones at it. Standing room only @ Adenomyosis video session @AAGL #AAGL22

@AsheeBritt Hi! I had made a video for BIDMC which I believe they still have on their Endometriosis Center website - perhaps that is what you’re looking for?

@ejorgensenmd you had a wonderful video about questions to ask your provider for Endometriosis surgery but I'm struggling to find it, could you please point me to it if you see this? ☺️

@TesiaKim Hooray! Congrats Tess! 🎉 I feel like I’m the lucky one though in this deal since I get to keep working with you!!

Could not be more thrilled to have matched at my #1 ranked fellowship program in MIGS!!! Thank you to everyone for the support! NWH/MGH/MAH here I come!!

@SarahLJorgensen Also if trouble sleeping a traditional kindle (no blue light, won’t crush you when you drop it, and turns itself off) with a boring book can be really helpful. This saved me in residency and at same time I got to read a ton of “Great Books” I missed in school

@SarahLJorgensen For shifts in sched Benadryl is helpful for getting to sleep & preventing waking. Your body becomes accustomed; if taking a lot you need a couple days off to reset every 2 wks. If dependent on antihistamines for sleep you can change the one you’re on, like use unisom on off days

night shift pals past and present: what are your best tips for readjusting your body clock??

@meenalmisalMD I haven’t used elagolix much, BUT I do have a lot of experience w MRI’s way overcalling endometriosis, including multiple patients marked for a colostomy who wound up only having superficial peritoneal dz. And this is w endo specialists & protocols in radiology 🤷‍♀️

? to #endometriosis surgeons & #endowarriors: Pt was diagnosed w/ Stage 4 endo on MRI. After mutual decision-making, took elagolix for 6 months until surgery could be coordinated. At time of surgery - barely any dz though peritoneum looked abnormal. Endometrioma gone too (1/

The SDD PACU is staffed well into the evening. I think that makes a huge difference.

Alright! @AAGLJMIG Journal Club #JMIGJc kicks off today, discussing same day discharge (SDD) after minimally invasive hysterectomy!! Check out this article, excellently done by @luchristt @KimKenton1 @EmiBretsMD, here! jmig.org/action/showPdf…

@louise_p_king @malstumd @MigsRunner @NMoawad_MIGS @Mikhail_MIGS @WassonMegan @KatieSmithMD I was a resident when the urogyn exam came out. A bunch of generalists who were doing slings & AP repairs took it & passed - fellowship urogyns at that time were upset that any old joe could call themself a urogyn. That has not seemed to happen in the 10 yrs since.

@ejorgensenmd @malstumd @MigsRunner @NMoawad_MIGS @Mikhail_MIGS @WassonMegan @KatieSmithMD I didn’t think urogyn went this route. But perhaps I have the history wrong?

Oooo...I want to know too! Slated to take this in the fall. Please share recommendations and tips! #migs #gynfluencer @MigsRunner @NMoawad_MIGS @Mikhail_MIGS @louise_p_king @WassonMegan @KatieSmithMD

@MigsRunner @VeronicaLerner @MIGS_TIPS @drcaraking @AngChaudhariMD @drlindayang @DrMTruong @docfoleygyn @n_donovan14 Team Harmonic + Erbe reusable bipolar!

@VeronicaLerner @MIGS_TIPS @drcaraking @AngChaudhariMD @drlindayang @DrMTruong @docfoleygyn @n_donovan14 I use a refurbished harmonic and reusable bipolar for all cases including TLH

Hello, #MIGS tribe! How do we feel about Ligasure vs. Enseal on TLHs? @MIGS_TIPS @drcaraking @AngChaudhariMD @drlindayang @MigsRunner @DrMTruong @docfoleygyn @n_donovan14

@olsonplanner Yes but this was 10-15 yrs ago

@ejorgensenmd You mean you filled it out on paper?

MS4s If you can make a little money this year, it’ll smooth out the process of filing your taxes electronically for 2022. Which helps you prove low or no income on your income driven loan repayment application next year. Ask any interns you know well. They’ll tell you!

@olsonplanner But yes, from filing taxes w no income and skipping grace period I had about 18 mos of $0 payments in my IDR

@olsonplanner It is very easy to just fill out the tax return form on your own without software if you have $0 income. I always filed in Med school - and some years would get stimulus $$ etc that way

@drdre424 @FMIGS1 I always go through OR images, and when I have radiology reports I always print them & go through w patient. Frequently there is something we consider totally normal that I find out the patient saw in their portal that’s been making them worried but didn’t know how to ask about

A student recently told me many docs from various specialties advised against showing patients their imaging. That it might induce anxiety. As a rule, I always review images with patients. I think it helps with explanation. Thoughts? @FMIGS1 #obgyntwitter

THIS is what makes #AcademicMedicine worth it! July in the hospital always fills my cup @bidmcobgynrez @BIDMC_ObGyn
