‼️Not everything that matters is visible - The hours no one sees. The decisions that carry weight long after the room is quiet. The discipline to show up—steady and precise—when the stakes are anything but. From @UCSFSurgery Happy #NationalDoctorsDay.. 👩🏻‍⚕️👨🏾‍⚕️🧑🏼‍⚕️👩🏿‍⚕️👨🏼‍⚕️🧑🏻‍⚕️👩🏽‍⚕️

Trauma care on Potrero Ave goes back over 150 years! On this #TBT we are sharing how we came to be the only Level 1 trauma center for San Francisco and Northern San Mateo County. 🧡 We never want you to get hurt, but if you do, we are here for you. ❤️‍🩹

Did you watch the Winter Games? SF may not have snow, but we do have hills. During this rainy season, steep and wet sidewalks can increase the risk of serious falls. Stay safe with these guidelines! Check out the SF DPH's fall prevention resources, sf.gov/resource--2023…

It's rainy season! Roughly 10% of all motor vehicle crashes in the US occur during active rainfall, and nearly 50% of all weather-related crashes happen while it is raining... Here are some ways to stay safe!

Many years ago we started teaching all @UCSFMedicine, @StopTheBleed. It has been a great effort in partnership with @zsfg Trauma Service. Many thanks to Sarah Garden, RN. The students now teach the community of San Francisco. Had a great session with 30 people this weekend.

As we head into the warmer months, it’s important to remember a hidden danger for kids: open windows. I joined Dr. Sammann, a trauma surgeon at SF General, to talk about a risk that’s far too common in our city—but one we can prevent.
