"A trainee with a disability shouldn't be seen as less than someone without. It should be seen as an opportunity to diversify our field." 🎙️: @Okanlami | #ACSQSC23

Really excellent talk at ACS QSC. How can we elevate and build access for others to reach their full potential? Worthy of reflection on so many different levels.

What an amazing day showcasing all of the research for IU Surgery Resident Research Day! Big congrats 👏 to all teams that had a poster on display. #IUsurgery #ResidentResearchDay #Residents

Today is National Trauma Survivor’s Day! Trauma survivors are strong and resilient. We believe in you!

@traumamom4 This can be a complex and controversial component but increased patient to nurse ratios in the current healthcare state mean less contact/stimulation/and attention which I suspect are having an effect on delirium, early detection of adverse events, etc in this vulnerable group.

Hey #MedTwitter what are some "can't leave out" topics when it comes to the care of the geriatric trauma patient? I'm preparing a talk. Give me your best advice.

@traumamom4 @DrJtrauma @hayfarani @AmCollSurgeons @topknife @JJcolemanMD @carriesims20 @elliotthaut @docmartin22 @DrHasanAlam @DanteYeh @bulgercot @tzakrison @DissanaikeMD They’ve changed the wording in this update: facs.org/covid-19/clini…

@DrJtrauma @hayfarani @AmCollSurgeons @topknife @JJcolemanMD @carriesims20 @elliotthaut @docmartin22 @DrHasanAlam @DanteYeh @bulgercot @tzakrison @DissanaikeMD Yep. Noted, @AmCollSurgeons. But no. One set of PPE to operate and send them home. Days and days of PPE and resources if COVID + due to unnecessary exposure.

I salute the @AmCollSurgeons for not shying away from controversy: no appendectomy or cholecystectomy during the pandemic? Might keep patients longer in the hospital but potentially decrease risk of postoperative complications & staff exposure. Thoughts, acute care surgeons?
