Prolonged operative time associated with longer LOS & higher probability of complications, but negative effect diminished with MIS approaches. Why? Find out in #DCRJournal: https://t.co/zvpr0Aq2kW

Excellent @JAMASurgery review article on the current and possible future role of liquid biopsy/ctDNA in the care of patients with colorectal cancer:
-Screening/diagnosis
-Need for adjuvant chemo
-Post-resection surveillance

Candidacy for watch-and-wait?

Surgery resident calls out grand rounds speaker and ACGME CEO for "hurtful" comments, thanks his chair and resident for support (in a weaponized manner), and demands a response/apology from the ACGME.

Reposted 75 times, liked 350 times despite pretty much nobody actually knowing what the guy said (and in what context).

Another surgeon who's known the speaker (and his dedication to medical education) for years comes to his defense, gets 13,000 views and a resultant 15 likes.

Social media is so gross. We all assume the worst, simplify things into buckets of good and evil, make snap judgments without a shred of research, then attack people without any concern for consequences. There's a huge ripple effect (in an unpredictable manner), sometimes it blows over, sometimes people's lives are ruined, but it's irrelevant to the mob, as our attention span is short and we've already moved on to the next offending incident.

Whether or not the GR speaker was truly hurtful, the way we all decide about his worth and then demand a consequence is extremely dangerous.

🗣 "The record is 10-0... you could smash it. Don't hold back, boys."

Here's what France manager Didier Deschamps told his team as they led Gibraltar 7-0 at the half. Les Bleus went on to win 14-0. 🇫🇷

Like the mentality, or should they have eased off? 🤔
