@united: your inability to run your airline has resulted in me being unable to perform surgeries I was scheduled to do today

[Alexander F. Mericli, MD @AMericliMD]

@united : been sitting on the tarmac for 45 minutes watching nobody load the plane’s bags! What’s the deal? I’m only on this fight because you canceled my original one yesterday. Get your act together!

@united my elderly mother in law has been stranded at Newark airport for 24 hrs with no medicine, no bed to sleep in, no hotel voucher, and no information. @united then tried to up-sell her a plane ticket to get her home for $500. no change fees? This is a safety issue.

@united I am beyond upset by your inability to get a passenger to their destination. My MIL has been stranded in Newark for over 24 hours, has not had access to medicine or accommodations, was forced to pay $474 to rebook and now is delayed hrs bc of no flight crew!

Our article is finally published, which identifies the ideal hospitalization length after micro breast recon. A stay of 3 days yields the best outcomes while controlling costs.

Latest on Moderna booster with omicron, clearly of great benefit. Misinfo from conservative news outlets claim vaccines do nothing vs infection and therefore mandates have no scientific basis. Not true, vaccines do reduce infection as well as disease.

@maraantonoff So did they get an interview? J/k. I assume they most certainly did not

To all Engineers who are patients: you are brilliant & incredible, but please remember that because humans did not design the human body, we cannot control all of its inputs & outputs nor can we seamlessly modify all of its algorithms.

Your friendly local urologist

Great presentations on the latest in plastic surgery at our Surgery Grand Rounds this morning. What really struck me was the empathy from @MDAndersonNews surgeons for our patients that led to these innovations. #endcancer @JesseSelber @AMericliMD @anaeze_offodile @MRoubaudMD
