Here are my top 3 tips for getting autonomy in the OR as a resident. A 🧵 #1 demonstrate you have prepared by asking specific questions about the case. I want to gain access here because of their previously surgical history etc.

#3 set up your room. Make sure you have your monitors in place, know what side you want your instruments on and stand on the side you need to be to operate. Don’t give up the surgery before it’s started! #surgicaleducation #residencylife #mentorship #herniasurgery

@AjvictoryMD Completely agree. The nurse in the room wouldn’t open the stitches I asked for because of cost…. My response. How would you like to do this anastomosis. The things I needed were then opened.

Here is a #subtlesurgeonburn that was used on me today. Co-surgeon walks into the room for their portion of the case. Immediately states “is it time to re-dose antibiotics?” #sizzle

I think the worst thing we have done as surgeons is convince their hernia has come back when they lifted too much or too soon when in all reality they got a sub optimal repair to begin with #makeherniasgreatagain

A great mentor/mentee relationship is where both bring something to the table and you grow together
@AdamMGrant

Great mentors are learners as well as teachers. Data: when mentors value insights from below, they're more engaged and effective—and their mentees are more successful. Mentoring is not a transfer of wisdom from one to another. It's a relationship where two people grow together.

@CPark_MD If you are a hernia specialist when do you ask your subspecialty surgeons to take out a colon mass. Or a IPMN. It is interesting how different the question is if you ask it in reverse. #makeherniasgreatagain
