@CanesDavid I have them show the patient a video and the ER docs will call me with what the patient decides

Tell me you practice in a rural county without telling me you practice in a rural county

@domillima @CaseUrology This is getting framed and put in our emergency room

[John Francis @JFranUrologyMan]

I work with some pretty awesome people

[John Francis @JFranUrologyMan]

@DrCallegari Yes, first scheduled case is May 4th.

[John Francis @JFranUrologyMan]

Last case with the Si. Marketing is already working on the launch announcement for the new robot.

Hanging out with the urologist

@domillima *2:15am* Hi, sorry to bother you. Just wanted to let you know your patient has a fever, temperature is 99.7. Is there anything else you want me to order?

[John Francis @JFranUrologyMan]

@DrCallegari We used to have bimonthly “where is the cysto cart” debates at wed morning conference when I was a junior resident

[John Francis @JFranUrologyMan]

Patient in retention, can’t pass catheter, on blood thinners, bulbar stricture, patient ate 1hr ago, no filiforms in cysto cart, and this message on the cart. Feels like a real life boards scenario

[John Francis @JFranUrologyMan]

@HVillarrealMD Glidewire over 5fr catheter, aspirate clear urine, exchange for stiff wire, council tip placed with clear urine

Scopes all digital, means moving lots of equipment, small community hospital and only OR team is in a long case

From a national database of emergency room visits, here are some of the horrible things Americans did to their penises last year: https://t.co/hTFHNOAlj2

@alexanderchowmd @CherulloUrology @CapocciaTed @RushUrology @RushMedical Agreed. My recent failure only had 12% function. I think there just isn’t enough urine flow in those kidneys to keep the anastomosis patent

[John Francis @JFranUrologyMan]

Vaccinated!

[John Francis @JFranUrologyMan]

5 vasectomies

27 degrees outside

Today was less than an ideal day for work on the office furnace

[John Francis @JFranUrologyMan]

Surgeons are trained to identify bloodless tissue planes and not cut directly into soft tissue, therefore surgical skills do not directly translate into turkey carving

[John Francis @JFranUrologyMan]

What did I learn today? The first dinosaur bone ever illustrated was named, and I kid you not, scrotum humanum...for obvious reasons

[John Francis @JFranUrologyMan]

When you’re a home brewer and a urologist, sometimes you accidentally document lesions as being genital worts

[John Francis @JFranUrologyMan]

Post op visit today. Patient named their 2 stones Bonnie and Clyde. I got gifted a badge as the Texas Ranger that “got rid of them”
