July advice for interns: be an enzyme! Every hospital pt plan has a rate limiting step; rarely it is the order. Thermodynamics: A rxn can not go faster than the rate limiting step. An effective intern⬇️ activation energy! #MedEd @uwgensurgres @UWSurgery @LenaSibulesky

@drymtn @CaseySeidemanMD I have always cringed at "my ****". I think it implies ownership and reinforces the historical hierarchy of medicine. Words matter.

@seth_waits @KyleSheetz @JAMASurgery Thanks for examining this. What do you think is explanation for importing and exporting more, but at the same time, also traveling further for procurements?

@VNikolian @ColumbiaSurgery @unningham @OHSUsurgery @OHSUsimulation Great video! A retired VA gen surg faculty, Philo Calhoun, who published a book on knots, advocated for this same approach. Two throws the same way also makes a locking girth hitch vs a cows hitch....you can anchor yourself rock climbing w/ girth hitch

@densonnier @shimulshah73 @AlexCortezMD @AlexBondocMD @kristinalemon22 @sparklyscalpel @HPB_Txp_Surg @MathurAmitK @MarkHobeika @jgaronzikwang Txp surgery is unpredictable but not unique....most gen surg rotations are. Trauma/egs, the unexpected take back, etc Quality education is setting expectations up front, incorporating their goals, sharing your passion, involving the learner, creating psychological safety

Huge. Very well designed study with clinically meaningful outcome. Pumping DCD livers the new standard of care? @ASTSChimera @UNOSNews

In a multicenter, controlled trial, patients undergoing transplantation of a liver from a donor after circulatory death were randomly assigned to receive the liver after hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion or conventional static cold storage.
