@georgetolisjr I remember you asking me this actually, might have been the hardest question I remember during interview season but it cuts through the rehearsed nature of interviews

Researchers from @BCMFromtheLabs found that the severity of chronic obstructive #pulmonary disease is associated with adverse outcomes after open thoracoabdominal #aortic aneurysm repair. Read the recent study by logging in to #JTCVS: https://t.co/5bwSzvF51T

@AATSHQ @Cerf_MD @markkferguson @ElliotServaisMD @MBMarshallMD @BernieParkMD @DrewMoghanaki Is it a fair assumption to think patients without access to MIS have ready access to SBRT?

[Christopher T. Ryan, MD @CT_RyanMD]

@BadMedicalTakes Travel of bullets creates a negative pressure cavity in the soft tissue which sucks in surrounding air and tissue with bacteria/virus/fungus… (mostly bacteria). That is why antibiotics are needed (albeit only for a relatively short period of time as a prophylactic measure)

@RhusheetPMD @aribindi Is it? I don’t think “the system” evaluated, consented, and scheduled these patients. Even educated and empowered patients are at risk when providers give strong recommendations for treatments that are against their best interest using fear tactics like described in the article

[Christopher T. Ryan, MD @CT_RyanMD]

@georgetolisjr Ironically, risk aversion may be one of the drivers of the declining case numbers lamented here

@KayeMcdougall ?

@ZachJBrennan The last one I did had a good IT person. They stood behind me on the hospitals staten and asked me to do ten tasks on Epic. I completed them all and was checked off. 5 minutes.

@maz_jovanovich “Solved the crew duty problem” - have you been to an airport lately? Tell the hundreds of people in the customer service lines after flight cancellations/delays that the problem has been solved, I’m sure they’ll be relieved

@TheReaderapp unroll

All the usual caveats: speak to your own dermatologists, not medical advice etc.

If you want more threads like this about evidence-based skincare, drop me a follow!

@MBurt34 Reviewing questions is the actual studying/preparing. Answering questions does nothing

@DonaldBaril @VascularSurgCS Dislike

@tomaspueyo One of the worst health-related opinion articles I’ve read in a long time
