@HiddenBrain I have ridiculous spacial memory. Driving places, walking paths, the location of any item in my house. This innate skill has served me well as a surgeon.
@AmBdSurg Class of 2020- I ๐ฏ% support you. This entire fiasco is an outrage. Attendings are just now learning about the harm inflicted on you. It may not be instantaneous but I assure you the backlash will be fierce. @UTSWSurgeryLife@UTSWSurgeryLife@NjmsR@NJMSDeptSurgery
@AmBdSurg The whole point of the ABS is to engender trust and prevent harm. The appalling and unquantifiable trauma inflicted by @AmBdSurg on our newest colleagues is deplorable.
@AmBdSurg I donโt have words. The board exam is the single most important achievement in a surgeonโs life. Youโve literally spent 9+ yrs studying and training. To find out during the test that its cancelled?!? Deepest sympathy to class of 2020. Shame on you @AmBdSurg This was preventable
@JBMatthews@AmBdSurg This is horrific, tragic, and absolutely heart wrenching for our new grads. It was also foreseeable and preventable by ABS. Outrageous that they let it get so far
I donโt have words. The board exam is the single most important achievement in a surgeonโs life. Youโve literally spent 9+ yrs studying and training. To find out in the last moment hat you canโt sit for your test. My deepest sympathy to class of 2020. Shame on you ABS
The Surgery Qualifying Exam of the American Board of Surgery has been cancelled. We sincerely apologize to all candidates for this stressful and unsuccessful event.
This is the story of the only operation ever described with a 300% mortality rate. Thatโs right-a single surgery that killed 3 people. https://t.co/v0fNXzaSzR
Today we honor our country. I would ask that we also spend today honoring each other. We are Americans. No matter our differences, we are all going through this. We can be stronger together. #4thofJuly2020#IndependenceDay#4thofJuly#America
As night approaches- just remember YOU ARE NEVER ALONE. If you don't know what to do, call a senior or attending for help. If a patient is doing poorly, call a rapid response. If you need immediate group assistance, don't doubt, just call a code blue. #TipsForNewDocs
Thank you to the Dept of Surgery's Committee for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (led by Dr. Shelby Holt) for putting together the first cultural competency M&M this month. Excellent conversations about how we can all learn and be better #surgeons, #mentors, and colleagues.
