There were several medical students interested in this AM’s chat-thought I’d offer up another something useful for that 20min.
🧵 for knot tying - the basics
There are one ☝️ handed knots which most of us prefer, BUT the two handed 🙌 surgeons knot is the gate keeping skill

in OR w/
@JCoselli_MD
scene: master surgeon, particularly terrible tissue & single suture pulling through
he says: “wonder if I pulled up too much or didn’t take enough tissue on the bite”
he didn’t say: terrible tissue, bad instrument, poor exposure
Ultimate responsibility.

Basics of knot tying part 2:
So the 2 handed 🙌 knot - you’ve done the first part and now what you’ve got 👀 something like this ⬇️ (notice my finger tip is a millimeter from the knot pushing down beside the 🪢 not on top of it)

Basic knot tying Part 3: getting a little fancy (one handed knots) 🎩💃
So tying 🙌 knots is a pretty classic way to judge where a student is & where to start teaching from. Now that you are able to tie a 🙌 🪢 like a pro let’s step it up.

He’s literally always on call b/c he is everyone’s bail out call
His cell is a telemarketing nightmare. He always answers on off chance a surgeon has a pt in trouble… worldwide
If hard thing=right thing for pt, buckle up. We’re doing hard things today.
I have never seen anyone more dedicated to the well-being of his patients. Patients always came first. He worked super-human hours to save the lives of countless patients-many were turned down by other surgeons because of the risk/complexity of the surgery. He was their last hope

Ummm did you guys see this? Those are some well know people asking some really good questions 😳😳😳
Not a single trial has ever reported a complete revascularization rate that is that low with CABG. A rate of 35.7% is implausible and incompatible with real world practice. I call for an independent inquiry and review of the data and methodology.

, just wrap your head around the idea that heart transplants lose their vagal connection 👀 the autonomic stuffs is cool way to remember the basics of ANS but when I learned that transplanted hearts are basically neuro-stupid = 🤯
Can heart transplant recipients experience vasovagal syncope??
This came up during my time in the CCU, here's a short 🧵 investigating this question. Special thanks to
