@michaelyehmd @JAMASurgery @dgsomucla @cchildersmd @UCLASurg @Back2TheSuture Agreed. Maybe that’s what happens when you limit a paper to 2 authors? Don’t remember the last time I saw that in a surgery journal. Strong work Chris!

FRIENDLY REMINDER❗️We are soliciting nominations to fill one resident director position. Ask @gregDsacks or @LVSelbs about their experience twitter.com/SurgOutcomes/s…

@PCSAsurg sounds like work by the one and only, @JWagnerMD. Congrats! @UCLAHealth

We are soliciting nominations to fill one resident director position. Details below⬇️Former Resident Directors: @LVSelbs @gregDsacks

It's time to rethink how we read clinical trials in surgery. @jdimick1 @gregDsacks & me in @JAMA_current: ja.ma/2jaEMNr

Another whopper from @gregDsacks: goo.gl/r4qXQd Should we do needs assessments re: patient values before we even offer operations?

@jdimick1 @krchhabra @LisaRosenbaum17 That's not exactly something we could forget!

@michaelyehmd @jdimick1 Indeed. Particularly challenging when evidence is limited or conflicting, as is often the case.

@michaelyehmd @dgsomucla @UCLAHealth Thanks Dr. Yeh! Would be interested to hear your thoughts on how this applies to endocrine patients

Time 2 rethink how we think about surgical decision making? Awesome piece by 3 surgeons I admire deeply: @gregDsacks, @krchhabra,& @jdimick1 twitter.com/jdimick1/statu…

Congrats @gregDsacks for your contributions to this insightful piece. @dgsomucla @UCLAHealth twitter.com/jdimick1/statu…

UCLA CSP alum @GregDSacks - One surgeon says you need an operation. Another says you don't. Here's why that happens. bit.ly/1W45R69

@kimbbellard Nice piece! Agree that uncertainty pervades all of medicine, not just surgery. Accurate risk assessment is key in all cases.

Can we improve surgical culture--and would it improve patient care? @NOTSS_lab & @gregDsacks weigh in @JAMASurgery j.mp/1OLQsjf

@skepticscalpel And more interestingly, we found these differences in judgment explained why surgeons differed in their decisions

@skepticscalpel Thx for post! Agree variation in op decision not surprising. Was surprised by magnitude of variation in risk/ben judgment
