Calling on our vascular surgery colleagues on this important post @VascularSVS

We are launching a new Orthopedic Surgery section and are seeking the inaugural Associate Editor. Great opportunity for academic orthopedic surgeons with strong research and peer-review experience to help shape the journal’s future. 📅 Apply by May 3, 2026 📧 j.ma1@elsevier.com

@TopKniFe_B Worth clarifying: in controlled DCD, if the patient does not die after WLST, organ recovery does not occur. Those “near misses” actually demonstrate the safeguard working as designed—not a failure of the system.

I've had concerns about the aggressiveness of OPOs for a while. This is exactly why. Are we certain our patients are unconscious during controlled donation? A must-read JAMA Perspective raising hard but necessary questions about covert consciousness and the ethics of end-of-life care. #MedTwitter #Surgery #OrganDonation
