Dear America,
We are at a national blood shortage.
We are entering the time of year when traumatic accidents increase in frequency, and WE NEED BLOOD to save lives.
Please, please consider donating.
Sincerely,
A trauma surgeon
Congratulations to all those trainees that matched into pediatric and vascular surgery fellowships this week. Take a moment to celebrate YOU…you deserve it! @AmCollSurgeons
For years, NRA lawmakers have refused to fund federal research into gun violence — so @Everytown stepped up and combed through 30M discharge records from 950 hospitals and ERs.
One of many troubling findings: Every 40 minutes, a child or teen is shot.

Safe Storage is Responsible Gun Ownership. We need to empower clinicians to speak with patients about this public health problem. #EndFamilyFire#ThisIsOurLane
