Could retired surgeons serve as mentors for new surgeons transitioning to practice?

@kmfitani1 @BWHSurgery @BMCSurgery @VABostonHC show that many retired surgeons are enthusiastic, but programs are needed to connect retirees to newly-minted surgeons.

If they are well, I give the patient the choice based on the evidence as best as I can. Most choose surgery but not all. For what’s its worth, if I was well with CT proven appendicitis I would just take painkillers and see what happens

[Natalie Blencowe @NatalieBlencowe]

@robbethune Me too. 50% of patients with simple appendicitis haven’t needed an op at 5 years, which I think is important info for shared decision making

Lap vs open Whipples. 10% vs. 2% mortality. Raises serious questions about patient selection and safety for this approach. #IHPBA2018 @IHPBA

[Prof Ewen Harrison @ewenharrison]

2000 consecutive Whipple’s starting in 1969 is just insane!
30 day mortality 1.4%.

Dear @AnnalsofSurgery, would you care to comment on why this article refers to surgeons as 'he'? Certainly not 'modern' in my eyes https://t.co/owcyylUG7X
