not on this platform much anymore, trying out bluesky to see what it's all about - find me at the same username if you're on there too!

The future of the @RASACS Global Surgery Work Group (formerly Committee, formerly Work Group 😆) is in amazing hands with these two!! Can’t wait to see what you trailblazers accomplish this year 🌍✂️ @nadiahussein @philjhsu

Although #AI technologies can be challenging to deploy, they have the potential to provide innovative solutions for surgical care delivery in remote regions and low-income countries. 📝: @erinmcscott @philjhsu @nadiahussein @kaj_mehta @RASACS facs.org/for-medical-pr…

@emily_fri Yes! It varies a bit by service - but on many of our teams our workflow is: - chart check and pend notes - residents preround (notes and some orders are signed as we go) - pre-op first cases - round with attendings - OR and other tasks (consults) And most of this before 8am 💀

@nadiahussein Notes done before rounds?!

My hospital still used paper notes during my MS3 and MS4 years. The residents would get their notes done as they prerounded in the AM, the attendings would jot their addendum outside the room while the resident presented. SUCH a difference in how notes fit into the day now.

@choirgirl181 @bridget__marc Honestly - just be kind. It means a lot when we know the people we're working with see us and all we're trying to manage. Understand that if we're not helping with something, it's not bc we think we're too good - we're probably trying to finish 10 other things between cases.

@bridget__marc I am so sorry. If you feel up to giving advice, what can I do as an OR circulator to support surgical residents? I know training is absolutely brutal.

TW: suicide There is an empty corner desk in a resident workroom at GW. Now forever engraved in my mind, that desk is a harrowing reminder of the cost of medical training. In his final words, Dr. William West said that he was simply out of gas, that he had nothing left to give.

@samsfeelinggood Dude. That PGY1 to PGY2 percentile difference is *rough* 💀

@la_guettler Almond extract?

@RyanMarino Omg why didn't we think of just telling our septic/metastatic cancer/hemorrhagic shock patients to go for a run and eat a salad??? Incredible. Let's trade out the ICU for a track and a sweetgreen.

@united what is going on with your website/app? tried 3x booking my flights and got error messages - then went for support and it says chat agents are unavailable...

PSA

@JuliaNEM33 My program did 3 weeks of orientation (paid) and I kinda liked it - time to bond with my cointerns before we were split across services, ATLS, intern boot camp, a few days shadowing on the service before taking on responsibility.

PDFs of journal articles that I will "read later"

@mattyfred_ 1000%

Should I take step 3 as early as possible? First easy rotation?

@CatDocMD Wild that so few of these answers are pain meds!

@mowwyjane I always open the opposite one just a smidge and to make the oscillating pressure go away

help medtwitter. if you’re in a moving car with only one window down, does that bother you? pls advise. if yes, please explain.

This is what health insurance companies do. They find a commonly performed procedure costing them money, cover it with red tape, then attribute their actions to physician greed. Aetna did it with cataract surgery last year. This is just the beginning. statnews.com/2023/05/15/uni…
