Guy surgeons. If a HUGE study comes out showing results consistent w other big studies that your female colleagues get better results, maybe read the paper & have a think about the reasons why that might be true. Bc when you are dismissive it honestly makes you look pretty bad.

How do medical school and general surgery residency play into this?

[Dr Paddy Barrett @Paddy_Barrett]

Your cardiovascular health in your 50s, 60s and 70s.

Will be dictated by the things you do in your 20s, 30s and 40s.

@RealCedricDark I have said it many times: Just because I will someday get paid what I’m worth does not mean I should not now also get paid what I am worth. My future value does not negate my current value.

[Ohio State Wexner Medical Center Surgery Dept. @OhioStateSurg]

🎉Please join us in welcoming Dr. Susan Tsai (@isteaus) as the new director of the Division of Surgical Oncology! As you'll see from Dr. @timpawlik's announcement, she is a talented physician scientist, and leader. We're so excited to have her on the #OhioStateSurg team!

[Matthew Smeds @mattsmeds]

Excellent response from @jmills1955 and the @VascularSVS on the NYT claudication piece. Thank you for being the voice for our society in this critical topic. It’s worth a read:

@DGlaucomflecken @jbcarmody I think people forget Jung vs AAMC, an antitrust lawsuit which had some success until congress passed a law exempting AAMC and NRMP from the antitrust law. I wonder who lobbied for that relatively obscure law to me passed 🤔

[Michael Brinton @Michael_Brinton]

@KodyBJones @rushumedcollege @AmerMedicalAssn @IllinoisDoctors Good luck! I hope @MCWSurgery is on your list. We’re not too far away!

So today is the beginning of Pride Month. We can remember 10+ years ago not being able to name a single LGBTQ+ surgeon. Today, we know dozens, and orgs like @OutSurgeons are leading the traditional orgs to increase DEI rapidly...

I am so happy for @_CFlanagan! Colleen ushered me through the darkest days of intern year. I cannot speak positively enough. I know she’ll do great things in her next home, but we get her for one more year!

[Michael Brinton @Michael_Brinton]

@olsonplanner It’s not about being financially manageable for me personally (in a smaller city with a more reasonable COL). It’s about being compensated fairly for the value you bring to an organization

[Josh Trebach, MD @jtrebach]

I will never forget how during my medical training, whenever I was answering an exam question about a patient who happened to be gay, the answer choices always looked something like this:

A) HIV
B) iv drug use
C) gonorrhea
D) chlamydia
E) bc they gay lol

[Michael Brinton @Michael_Brinton]

@_andrewjkim @MCWSurgery @MedicalCollege @BUMedicine Congrats! Excited to work with you in a few months!
