⏰ The 5-9 before 9-5 trend involves devoting four hours to self-care every morning. It's is super popular on social media. But is it healthy? #MentalHealthMonday #msdynttrid=ZXCYSu9FgIIEM2bGnRjnkNjix2X4XvPVN0umtPzw2zY" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">health.clevelandclinic.org/5-9-trend?utm_…

@leahbackhusmd I will never forget walking into the VA and seeing a patient in the smoking area with a cigarette and smoke was in the pleurovac chamber.

@aribindi Respectfully disagree, visiting a place that you’re going to live for 5-7+ years and seeing the surroundings, safety, and what the winters were like significantly affected my preference.

In person interviews had some value, but it was very random and hit or miss- and terribly wasteful to boot. I remember distinctly being assured at the interview social that duty hours were followed, and then watching the resident I was staying with get up at 4AM.

Nice study from the @The_SECONDTrial group trying to look at virtual interviews. Most trainees do not feel virtual communication increase peer support or program culture and would prefer in person interviews. @VESurgery #VESS24

@frolics26 @Dr_Done_ Excellent! This is what I just posted, lol. I hope and it seems there is a huge difference between US and UK in this regard. Thank you. The initial statement was about offensive but now that it’s in context of only one country I understand. Thank you!

@sandykava @Dr_Done_ American PAs are not the same. Nhs ones are unregulated, have little or no clinical background and are, in increasing reported cases, masquerading as doctors.

Physician’s Assistants should to the following jobs, and the following jobs only: - Discharge letters - Cannulas - Bloods/NGs/Catheters - Create patient lists - Scribe on ward rounds That would really assist the physicians.

@Dr_Done_ Too much really for me to say in limited texts. Not into public twitter wars, but would be open to calm, open minded offline conversation about how NHS is different from US system in the value of PAs and need for every patient to have as much care available to them as possible.

3/ Grant rejections, imposter syndrome, personal missions. The stuff that keeps you going. That no one talks about. Realizing the value of support from all different avenues is eye opening. Thankful to @UofLDeptofSurg for making me feel supported and AWS for all of this! #AWS

1/ Have been reluctant to embrace specific organization for Women in Surgery - if we didn’t feel like we were getting recognition and support, I felt like breaking off and not fighting for it within the “big group” was a bad move. Boy was I wrong. #AWS2023
