@drs462 @BgTalkinman Yes, lots of work to be done in this area to get more granular information. #jhsjc

[Jeffrey G. Stepan MD, MSc @JeffStepanMD]

@BgTalkinman @theaviram We are hoping to look at this topic specifically, objective CTS severity and health lit in underserved pts #jhsjc

[Jeffrey G. Stepan MD, MSc @JeffStepanMD]

@BgTalkinman PROMIS scores may not be due to CTS severity alone, however, can be due to many issues/comorbidiites/health lit #jhsjc

[Jeffrey G. Stepan MD, MSc @JeffStepanMD]

Great paper similar findings to Wright/Calfee social deprivation and Kamal pearl-diver study on Medicaid insurance #jhsjc

[Jeffrey G. Stepan MD, MSc @JeffStepanMD]

@BgTalkinman Yes was a great discussion - I know I fall victim to this early in practice despite "knowing better" - or get an u/s. #jhsjc

[Jeffrey G. Stepan MD, MSc @JeffStepanMD]

Is it possible that surgeons and patients just like objective data prior to surgery? Until disincentivized to order... #jhsjc

[Jeffrey G. Stepan MD, MSc @JeffStepanMD]

@BgTalkinman From what I understand this is simply a workflow issue to avoid seeing nonoperative patients in busy private clinics. #jhsjc

@AndrewSobelMD @AmCollSurgeons @SMJohnsonMD @ChrisDyMD @jabelsonmd @LondonDA @inclanpm @lwesselmd It was recorded, they said they will upload. Really focusing on your goals, building a mentor team for each goal, and finally developing a mentoring mosaic.

[Jeffrey G. Stepan MD, MSc @JeffStepanMD]

Fantastic webinar on maximizing mentorship relationship by @AmCollSurgeons and @SMJohnsonMD . Thank you to @ChrisDyMD for making me aware! Must watch for keys to building your mentorship network: https://t.co/0LYMDwg83k @jabelsonmd @LondonDA @inclanpm @AndrewSobelMD @lwesselmd

@DrMoghtaderi @DrDonLalonde @HandPodcast @ChrisDyMD @Congenitalhand Well I guess I know what episode I’m listening to on tomorrow’s commute.

[Jeffrey G. Stepan MD, MSc @JeffStepanMD]

First WALANT case today in practice @UChicagoMed. I think I had more anxiety than the patient but all went smoothly! Blocking in preop and waiting the 15+ minutes achieved great hemostasis. Any other pearls that are imperative to successful WALANT?

[Jeffrey G. Stepan MD, MSc @JeffStepanMD]

@davidmmegee Great advice. Thank you. Actually did this one in the operating room even though we have a procedure room... next steps..

[Jeffrey G. Stepan MD, MSc @JeffStepanMD]

@ChrisDyMD @UChicagoMed @DrMoghtaderi @HandPodcast Somehow always comes back to the podcast! I’ll have to send in my photo of my empty office book case in an appeal for a coveted mug.

Had the pleasure of outdoor dining with @MartinIBoyer this past weeekend during @HandSociety meeting and presenting him with a gift from @SteveLanierMD and myself for what has been a long journey from 1st year Med student @WUSTLmed to first year attending @UChicagoMed . #assh2020
