*Officially* done with surgery residency today. Thank you to everyone @UMNSurgery for a fantastic 7 years. Can't wait to start critical care fellowship @UMichSurgery in a month, and absolutely thrilled to be joining the team @RegionsHospital next year.
Here's a quick list of all the ways TX Governor Greg Abbott and Texas Republicans loosened Texas's gun control laws in 2021 alone. https://t.co/UgFwNlOvGG

This speech will be one for the books of history. #StandWithUkraine
Before United Airlines' vax requirement, one employee was dying *each week* from covid.
Today, 3k employees have covid at United.
ZERO (0!) are hospitalized and none have died.
That's the difference. That's vaccines. That's a requirement.
Happy Veterans Day to all of those who serve our country! And an extra special thank you to Dr. Bennett and the recently promoted Major Goff, who bring their skills back and teach me so, so, so much at Regions.
Last week I matched into surgical critical care fellowship at @UMichSurgery (!) and I'm finally starting to believe it's real. Can't wait to learn from such an incredible team.
My team called 33 hospitals yesterday trying to get a patient admitted for a common, necessary, potentially life-saving procedure. Not one had admission capability. This is the current reality across the country. And as a healthcare provider, it is terrifying.
Another excellent @ddiamond piece on Houston Methodist's vaccine mandate
Hospitals care for immunocompromised and other high risk individuals
At this point, its unclear how a hospital that claims to care about patient safety justifies NOT having an employee vaccine mandate
