@JasonJamesonMD @AZurological @ArizonaMedicine We had much to celebrate at the ArMA event given the recent passage of HB 2025. Many thanks to Jason and our allies in ArMA for helping to get this legislation across the finish line. On behalf of AZUS and all Arizona urology practices, thank you!

Many thanks to the @UAUrology O.R. team and to Chad Harrison from Intuitive for coming early and making all the preparations for the very first case using the DV5 robotic platform at Banner University Medical Center Tucson. Proud to continue advancing our robotics program.

Today, @CTwissMD and I testified at the AZ State Leg, House Health Committee: 11-1 vote to move the bill forward to allow medical assistants to provide catheter care in our urology practices. Thanks to @AZurological and @ArizonaMedicine and staff!

@JasonJamesonMD @AZurological @ArizonaMedicine @AmerUrological Many thanks to Jason, our upcoming ArMA President, and our ArMA partners Amanda Shienson and Eva Turner for partnering with AZUS to push this through. We need to remain strong and resolute to advance HB2025 through the Arizona House and Senate and onto the Governor's desk.

@RealJamesWoods Amen, from one Rhode Islander to another. They poked fun at us for crooked politicians and back room deals, but you know what, when there was fire they put it out, when there were thieves, they put 'em in jail. The basics of being mayor is keeping your peeps safe.

[Jason Jameson MD @JasonJamesonMD]

Thanks to @AZurological officers and staff for all their efforts for a great annual meeting!! #AZUS24

@CaseySeidemanMD Totally. It's visceral. Type A's cant stop it. Ways to cope: I fly American and buy ticket with AA credit card =guaranteed Group 5 boarding. Southwest: tell yourself "as long as you are Group A or first half of B you get an aisle or window seat."

[Christian Twiss, MD, FACS @CTwissMD]

Congrats to Deb Jur on her retirement and many thanks to Felicia Goraj on her years of excellent service. I could not have asked for a better pair of NPs completely dedicated to patient care. I am so grateful to have had you both on my journey and wish you the very best!

[Jiping 'Jay' Zeng, MD @urozeng]

Feel incredibly lucky to win the best poster! Great attendance and discussion with so many bright minds in the field. Grateful for the support from @ClintCaryMD and Dr. Masterson.

@jfunkmd @jointdocShields It is a difficult hobby. To eliminate the star trails, you need good SLR w manual mode set on a motor drive to correct earth's rotation set on tripod/mount with good polar alignment. Oh and lots and lots of patience...

@jfunkmd @Brian_J_Flynn I see a very low left common iliac vien a couple times per year. Options are to go lower on the sacrum / down onto S1, change angle and reduce number of sacral sutures, or find alternate fixation site (SSL or pectineal ligament). Sorry about the hernia-it's a bummer!
