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)

Tomorrow @ 11am we are going to chat with some of the big names in CT surgery about the Ross procedure. We noticed our group is pretty heterogeneous and we ❤️ that so we thought we’d offer a little primer so everyone can engage even if you don’t live in the 🫀😷 world.

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. #MedStudentTwitter #MedEd #surgery.

This! . 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.

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.

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 @AHajduczok of @TJHeartFellows. Let's first start with how vasovagal syncope normally occurs. .
