@DalyaFergusonMD What rotation causes such a dramatic change?

Current rotation has been so traumatic that I started running to blow off steam. I am now a running person. I even bought earbuds & a belt thingy to put my phone in. I’m a monster.

So glad our ⁦@unlvmedicine⁩ Acute Care Surgery Fellows are here at ⁦@traumadoctors⁩ #aast2022 ⁦@LJToelle⁩ ⁦@DrVanderet⁩ ⁦@hannahnonymous⁩

⁦@traumadoctors⁩ #AAST2022 banquet opportunity for ⁦@unlvmedicine⁩ ACS fellows ⁦to meet ⁦@KennethMattox⁩

Lost this legend 7 years ago today. I talk about or quote this man almost every day. Beyond the logo on our coats & jackets, beyond the boots at the end of every bed in every trauma room, this man left a legacy that is a part of every faculty, trainee, & alumnus of this program

@smstreit Motorized wheelchair for prior spine injury + alcohol + escalator = poor life choice for patient.

I have had an absolutely absurd number of trauma activations related to escalators. This town is truly wild.

@JessTullington Just be wary of the workstation in the icu! You’ll be fine 😭

OK #Vegas give me your best pest advice! Do I really have to check my shoes and bedsheets every day? Because I’m now freaking out. #LasVegas #Scorpion #pestcontrol

@HealthScoutBlog Over residency and now fellowship I have it down to 20 minutes before needing to leave.

Happy to see so many fellow 4:15-5ers! I’m not alone! ❤️ I wake up ~1 hour before I have to leave, 1.5 if I’m eating at home before I leave (often take a smoothie or something that I can eat during conference/clinic/chart review time, depending on the day).

Curious, what time do y’all typically wake up for work?

@HealthScoutBlog Just pray you don’t get that type of question on oral boards. 🥶

lol I get every frostbite & hypothermia question wrong. #texasproblems

@HealthScoutBlog @RodGerardo Center of Excellence in Cholecystology … good ole’ county.

@RodGerardo I draw the line at traumatology, personally. Otherwise we’ll soon be calling ourself cholecystologists (although that is what I called myself on our night float rotation, a.k.a. 6-week gallbladder fest).

Ok so this doesn’t work for everything. Yes for surgical oncology, or even surgical endocrinology. But like what about vascularology? Minimally Invasivology? Where do we draw the line?

@smstreit Nooo. I’m sorry to hear that.

Well, I cancelled my trip to Paris. I hate it here. 😢

@BBankheadMD Astros games. Texans box seats post call. Park bench.

Residency teaches you impt things, like how to sleep literally anywhere. In 1 month’s time (as an attending 😂) I slept in a salon chair, a hair sink chair, on the physical therapy table, sitting in an office chair, & in my Jeep. Where’s the weirdest spot you’ve napped?

@joyofmedicine Congratulations!

@JessTullington Congratulations. See you next year!

Beyond excited to share I matched at UNLV for SCC! My number 1! It would not have been possible without some amazing people in my life. Excited for this next step! ❤️❤️ #ILookLikeASurgeon

@Dallas_Holladay Our school took graduation photos at the beginning of fourth year. The photos were used for applications and for our yearbook.

Wait wait, medical students get professional headshots for the match now? What in the...

@HealthScoutBlog You’ll be fine. Everyone feels that way.

Well then. We shall see if I just passed FES or not. Certainly doesn’t feel like I did.

@HealthScoutBlog We’ve been taking pictures in epic haiku and inserting them in our procedure notes.

Should I be saving/printing ultrasound images when doing non-emergent central lines (or ports)? I have never once saved it (not sure if our older machines that I learned how to do lines with even had printing capability). Do others do this routinely?

@rocketpropelled @michael_RNtoPA The rose’ is very good too.

@michael_RNtoPA Most Kirkland brand wine, believe it or not. The Prosecco is a real bargain.

Costco-going folks of Twitter, what are some of your favorite finds from there? I’ve literally never been, but will be going soon

@HealthScoutBlog Professional Cholecystologist

My gallbladder fellowship is going pretty well so far. Last night did a completely intrahepatic one.

@KurteL10 @nerdy4brainz @TriageNurseMD @Caulimovirus I’ve heard it still does.

@nerdy4brainz @TriageNurseMD @Caulimovirus Let me know if it still works. I’m curious

@drcakefm General Surgeons also manage melanoma if too long to get into Derm.

Primary care fam- when do you send people to derm for a melanoma in situ vs do further excision yourself? Always? Certain size/Breslow? Patient preference?
