Excited to share an op-ed piece I wrote on the consolidation of pediatric services in light of the recent closure of Tufts Children’s Hospital. Check it out at @medpagetoday Thanks @genevievefri for your edits! https://t.co/reDEqtHNCt

As we learn more and more about how financial forces & profit motives drive our hospitals, exploit workers, and harm patients, @sanjaykishore31 and I often wondered: who is actually in charge of our health systems?

To shed light, we looked at the boards of top US hospitals.

This answer wins the thread! 👀

@elliotthaut @rbarbosa91 @SKhalilMD @TJCommission Thanks Eliott. Short answer: if surgical spoons, then yes; if kitchen spoons: BIG NO.
Why? Non-surgical instruments are made from lower grade steel, making them susceptible to corrosion, jeopardizing their sterilization process --> Serious risk. You & the patient do not want that

@angievassallo @RnInfection @InfectiousJK Bottom line: we are battling a mentality among endoscopists that a certain amount of contamination is not clinically significant d/t "dirty" nature of procedure

[Amber Wood @Shablamber]

@InfectiousJK @angievassallo @aami_connect @InfectiousJK big takeaway from new recs is emphasis on inspection & cleaning verification testing, and move toward sterilization. We can’t expect scopes to be processed correctly if they are damaged! Actual useful life is probably less than we use them for…
