@jointdocShields @traumamom4 Say it louder for the people in the back.

[SAGES is in Vegas in 2027! @SAGES_Updates]

Not sure who STILL needs to hear this in 2023 but harassment of trainees in surgery or any other discipline or, frankly, any other job/career/organization IS NOT OKAY, NOT PART OF THE CULTURE, AND SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED OR EXCUSED IN ANY WAY.

Sheesh.

@rbarbosa91 The real trick is to scrub longer than your attending, gown/glove after (deferentially, of course), and still beat them to draping the patient! Lead rounds, stay behind to write notes/complete work, then still beat the attending to the next patient/chart. I took pride in ninja!!

[Shawna #BLM Kettyle, MD, FACS @KettyleMD]

@anitagr @KadijahPorterMD We should also be comparing the amount of time and education required to function as a trainee physician (resident or fellow). We could even compare the cost of replacing resident physicians with APPs. By any metric, trainees are undervalued and underpaid.

@GarrettGarbo I think i was a third year resident before I felt comfortable introducing myself as a surgeon. It takes time but you have earned the title and you can own it! Keep being amazing!

[Shawna #BLM Kettyle, MD, FACS @KettyleMD]

@okwalding Dear late year fellow, this is the way. Signed, an attending who adopted the way early PGY3 surgical residency bc I just don’t have time to listen to what other people may or may not know and/or verified themselves.

@MurseWordsworth This happened to me but opposite. The organization started to use an outside service to give kudos. I got an email and was like “hah spam” and reported it. It was legit from the president of the hospital. I don’t think any lessons have been learned from either experience.

@TrankiemTrauma You are an expert in a dying field. But in a different way…. Too many people dying.

@drcrouchback I’d like more info about the “will never get systemic treatment.” If you don’t know they type of tumor, how does one really know if systemic treatment would be offered/accepted? I’m thinking of prostate, breast ca which might be palliated with hormonal tx for example

@DoctorMommyTina @TheRealDoctorT That’s what “warm, well perfused, speaking in full sentences” is for 😂

@TrankiemTrauma Talking to the patient, or in one case because the LEO was in the CT scan room and I was asking for his own safety that he exit. The patient was NOT under arrest. I never want my patient to feel that they shouldn’t seek care, and LEO involvement complicates things greatly. 2/2

[Shawna #BLM Kettyle, MD, FACS @KettyleMD]

@TrankiemTrauma Ugh I would’ve loved to fill out that survey. Have been in multiple situations where I have had to repeatedly ask LEOs to exit the patient room either bc they were being confrontational w the patient and impeding care, they were straight up talking over me while I was 1/2

[Shawna #BLM Kettyle, MD, FACS @KettyleMD]

@pgkhaitan No one better!!

[Shawna #BLM Kettyle, MD, FACS @KettyleMD]

@jbcarmody @hemohobgoblin Every year I have conversations with my female medical students about whether it’s ok to be a woman in surgery. Every year I ask them to look around at the female role models they can see (our department was 50/50 for a bit… no somewhat less than that). But the question is asked

[Shawna #BLM Kettyle, MD, FACS @KettyleMD]

@mechang22 @TommyTranMD @ReidReding PGY-11 or so here and this is my preference, but strong support for the 0.38 pen life. And the compression socks.
