After being married for 6 years, we are finally able to go on a honeymoon, 1 month before finishing my surgery residency, after arrival of 2 kids and COVID pandemic. View of the Aegean Sea cannot be more relaxing. #surgeryreaidency #marriage #santorini

Have been using RAI a lot during gen surg residency. Very excited to contribute to this paper on RAI applied to thoracic surgery, my future fellowship of choice. RAI is an independent predictor of outcomes after lung resection. Thank you @markkferguson

[Andy Lee @AndyLeeSurgery]

Great mental exercise for surgery residents! I was doing this case with my attending @EzraTeitelbaum and ran into this scenario.

Common during lap chole: after ductomy for IOC, you milk a stone out of cystic duct. Cystic then feels soft, but when you place IOC cath there is complete resistance/back pressure to flushing. WWYD next??!?
