@dr_cellini I wrote a whole paper in it. More a specialty is dishonest about their operating time the more RVUs they get.

The best of the rest! Come for the La Croix, stay for the talks. Palliative care in our gyn onc population. So proud of M. Fatima Reyes @BIDMC_ObGyn @UCSF_ObGynRS @UCSF_LCOE @UCSFHospitals @SGO_org #sgo2023 #SGOMtg

Studies have found that acquisitions by private-equity firms have led to consolidation and increases in hospital charges and net income. Jaime King, JD, PhD, explains what this means for patients and the health care industry. Listen to the full interview: https://t.co/ywiJtYuc4H

What a fascinating study by @sarahleemdmba on disaggregating AAPI in NCDB #sgo2023 #SGOMtg @SGO_org @nyulangone 1/4 patients couldn’t be disaggregated. Wish we could replicate in a robust database for the melting pot of Latinos

[Sarah Lee @sarahleemdmba]

Striking data presented by @dholakiamd - Fellows and early career Gyn Onc faculty are unprepared for productivity negotiation. @MLiangMD @EmelineAvikiMD #sgo2023 #SGOMtg #PatientsPurposeProgress

If you stay for “the best of the rest” you get fancy drinks! #sgo2023 #SGOMtg @SGO_org

Also so so practice changing in the late breaking abstracts @SGO_org #sgo2023 #SGOMtg #lookatthoseHR

#SGOMtg: A randomized trial compared standard chemotherapy plus dostarlimab or placebo. Patients with mismatch repair–deficient tumors had 2-year progression-free survival of 61.4% with dostarlimab and 15.7% with placebo. Read full results of RUBY trial: https://t.co/w5JgJbEcoq

Practice changing! Saved the best for last #sgo2023 #SGOMtg

Late breaking at #SGOMtg: In patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer, the addition of pembrolizumab to standard chemotherapy resulted in significantly longer progression-free survival than chemotherapy alone. https://t.co/dTyV1zTO0I

🧵regarding the 'suture ligature' or 'stick tie', or whatever you call it in your part of the world.

Here, I'll use my long-suffering chickens to show 3 different methods for doing a 'suture ligature', and we'll go over a couple of pointers that apply to all of them.

Just a couple of #sgobridges scholars enjoying #sgo2023! Thank you @amandanfader and Dr. Sarah Adams for developing the SGO BRIDGES initiative. Can’t wait for the year to come! @SGO_org #SGOMtg

[Debra Richardson, M.D. @DebbieRic23]

It’s time to value women’s health. Reimbursement for gyn oncology lags behind inflation and other physician specialties. #sgo2023 #SGOMtg Thank you Dr. Podwika UVA for shedding light on this.

Dr Horowitz presenting important data from GOG 279 on the role of #gemcitabine in vulvar SCC. Interesting use of radiosensitizing characteristics of #gemcitabine in a disease traditionally treated with a disfiguring and functionally debilitating dz. #SGOMtg #sgo2023

[amarantac @amarantac]

These 🧵 are the best!!

[Ron Barbosa MD FACS @rbarbosa91]

🧵regarding some technical aspects of the needle holder and where to grip surgical needles, something you may not know about the packages they come in, and a comment about the ratchet.

Oriented more toward the younger folks...
(1/ )

[Ron Barbosa MD FACS @rbarbosa91]

Many times the needles come packaged so that it facilitates picking them up right at one of the two classic locations we just mentioned:

-the midpoint (red arrow)
-or about 2/3 back (blue arrow)

Navy seal: "Training did not select for the strongest and fastest… instead those that in their worst moments found it within themselves to help a fellow seal."

That statement made me think about medical training…

what types does it select for? And is it the right types?

A non-medical friend recently asked me to describe clinic. I told her to imagine you have 20 meetings in a day, half of them new clients with urgent needs. Each requires your best self. You are late for at least 10 of them. You must prepare a report and deliverables for each one.
