It is important to learn from our complications to try to avoid repeatedly experiencing the same ones. Good judgement comes from experience and unfortunately experience often comes from less good judgement.

[Steven D Wexner MD, PhD @SWexner]

As I have posted in the past: there are 3 types of surgeons: surgeons who operate and therefore unfortunately experience complications, surgeons who do not operate and thus do not realize complications, and dishonest surgeons. I am saddened though proud to be in the first group.

[Joaquin Estrada MD @J_EstradaMD]

We have all been there

We’re healers by nature

Reflect,adjust when necessary but try not to persecute oneself. Don’t forget all the good outcomes

If you have never had a complication,you’re probably not operating

[Generation Medics 💙 @GenMedX]

In surgery, complications happen. They're horrible for the patient, but also tough on the surgeon. Probably not discussed openly enough.

Primary tumor location may be a prognostic factor for patients with non-metastatic colon cancer. The prognosis for patients with right-sided tumor may be better for those with stage 1&2, but worse for those with stage 3

45 is the new 50!

If you are 45, talk to your doctor and get screened before it’s too late.

I’m at a friend’s 50th birthday party and I overhear the word ‘colonoscopy’ and have to will my lips shut to not butt in - pun intended - & point out that screening dropped to 45..

A recent study published in the Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Oncology suggests that eating allium vegetables could reduce a person’s risk of developing colon and rectal #cancers. Allium vegetables include shallots, onions, leeks, chives, and garlic. https://t.co/xPTR25gEHu
