Nothing like being on the hot seat. I have been doing dozens of scenarios for testing and it has forced me to really think through complex situations that you may only encounter a few times in a career. AI simulators have a place both in Board Prep and CME!

@SeanLangenfeld Not totally wrong ChatGPT added the time to the top of the picture 😂. I was impressed at how professional it made it look. Though it did put 2025 on the first edit.

Grateful for the opportunity to run the Boston Marathon and achieve a goal I’ve been chasing for over 3 years. Incredible day, perfect weather, amazing crowds, and a first-class event. Huge thanks to my wife and kids for putting up with years of early mornings to make this happen

@StephCohenMD Thanks! So impressed at what you are able to accomplish in residency. 🤯🤯

A career in surgery has a profound impact on those who practice the craft. High rates of poor mental health are well described but incompletely understood. Today, our SHAME team led by @swthorntonjr @DukeSurgery explores grit, shame, and burnout.

Part 2: https://t.co/rB925mBQaw

[BehindTheKnife @BehindTheKnife]

In this series on shame in surgery, we explore what we know about shame in surgery and what shame can tell us about learning and working as surgeons.

This goes for surgeons too. Powerful interview with a special guy.

[Aaron Ring @aaronmring]

Every oncologist and cancer researcher should watch this interview with @BenSasse:

https://t.co/PeTl9Eg1g8

Daraxonrasib, a “super poison for cancer,” shrank his metastatic pancreatic tumors by 76%, even though he says his skin feels and looks “nuclear.” When I learned of his diagnosis, I wanted him to get this drug (oral RAS ON inhibitor), which is poised to become first-line therapy in pancreatic cancer. I hope his experience on a clinical trial encourages more patients to enroll in studies, and pushes clinicians and researchers to keep advancing new therapies.

Carotid webs don’t cause stroke because of stenosis. The narrowing is minimal.

The problem is flow.

In this video, I walk through a DSA of a carotid web. You’ll see contrast accelerate over the web and then pool behind it. That pocket of stasis is exactly where clot forms.

Stasis alone satisfies Virchow’s triad. But stasis also kills shear stress, and the endothelial glycocalyx depends on shear to stay intact. When it thins, you lose its natural anti-clot functions, platelet inhibition, antithrombin III activation, and even local tPA support.

Stasis plus loss of glycocalyx creates the perfect setup for thrombus.

Watch the clip. Then check my previous post below for a deeper breakdown of carotid webs.
