“At the end of my intern year, I was very fortunate to be given the opportunity to go to a new program where I still worked very long hours but was treated like a surgery resident should be treated.” Eric Knauer, MD.

@rbarbosa91 @SAGES_Updates @acsJACS But that is the rule. I know of vascular surgeon doing open carotid and was dinged by surveyor because mark was not in field, it was on chest just outside it.

Sundays weren’t free either:

Hopkins surgery residents used to have ‘Sunday school’ with Cameron and “no Halsted resident would ever think of not appearing”.

In San Francisco, Cohn would do Sunday ward rounds with the residents and “no one was off duty” until this was done.

[Eric Knauer @EricKnauerMD]

@olsonplanner Pay taxes now or later. I suspect client was a high earner who would had high tax bills. Congrats to them for saving well.

[Ron Barbosa MD FACS @rbarbosa91]

For decades, surgery departments often had Grand Rounds on Saturday mornings.

Everyone was expected to attend, so that meant almost no weekends off.

Over time, these moved to weekdays but it took the enactment of duty hour limits in 2003 to get rid of the last holdouts. 🧐

[Eric Knauer @EricKnauerMD]

@rbarbosa91 Nothing like having part of a day off and part of that was spent in Saturday grand rounds.

[Eric Knauer @EricKnauerMD]

@SAGES_Updates Excellent. And the stairs are packed.
