Reminds me of one of my most important residency lessons, from the incomparable @anjiwall. It went something like this: They called you because one of their patients is really sick and they need help. Even if they don't know the right question to ask, BE THE HELP! @VUMCSurgRes

Over the last year, I've done 9 threads on different suture materials. Included here are links to each of these. I'll leave this 'pinned' for now. They are:
Prolene, silk, Vicryl, PDS, Ethibond, Nylon, Monocryl, Chromic, and barbed sutures.
Dr. Warnock has a nice ring to it ✨ I am so thankful for my family, friends, mentors, and pup (of course!) who have supported me through this journey. I wouldn’t be here without them. Now onto residency and becoming a surgeon at the place I fell in love with it! 🥂
With heavy hearts, we saw the clinical career of Deborah Billmire draw to a close last week. She helped innumerable children and advanced children’s oncology care for decades. We wish her lots of great outdoor adventures in retirement. @RileyChildrens@APSASurgeons@IU_Surgery
