@Delta told by gate agent to go to help center with my issue. Luckily no lines at the help center. Unfortunately no staff either.

@JJcolemanMD Love the lifestyle of wearing professional pajamas.

That’s a freaky looking colon that AI generated with colon cancer as the prompt. #coloncancer

[Brian Teng @BrianTengMD]

On a regular basis I meet people who were offered the chance to prevent colon cancer and put it off until they get colon cancer. The current age to start screening is age 45. Please don’t put it off until you meet me in the OR. #coloncancer #colorectalsurgery

@UBSurgery One way to get that coast to coast road trip in is by matching to a California fellowship. I got my second one in when I moved back to NY.

@bigassfans big ass fans hard at work.

[Brian Teng @BrianTengMD]

What are the odds that every flight I’ve been been scheduled for @WestJet is cancelled for mechanical issues.

[Brian Teng @BrianTengMD]

@WestJet back to back flights with the plane needing sudden service and then becoming unserviceable.

After 34 years of service at ECMC (and 42 years of practicing in Buffalo), Dr. William Flynn is hanging up the trauma and ICU pager. We're grateful he will still be performing elective surgeries while having more time for family and golf. Thank you & congratulations, Dr. Flynn!

@meimeilondon hit the spot.

@KateBaileyDO @MmollyAdamms Don’t even look at the pay of the actors who portray doctors.

[Brian Teng @BrianTengMD]

@KateBaileyDO @MmollyAdamms And then you felt worse?

[Brian Teng @BrianTengMD]

Had a patient tell me I look tired today. Time for vacation?

[Brian Teng @BrianTengMD]

@FaithMedJourney @jasonryanmd You got it! Also can be done to reduce prolapsed stomas.

[Brian Teng @BrianTengMD]

@jasonryanmd The colorectal surgeon always gets you in the end.

[Brian Teng @BrianTengMD]

@mdbtvh There are times when I don’t have a solution for the patient’s issues. Honesty with the patient is best. It is ok to also say this is something I need help with and/or need to look up.

[Brian Teng @BrianTengMD]

@fuqekgs Medicine has a lot sharp turns. One second someone is dying and the next second you put on a smile to tell someone good news. Sometimes it seems the training has to be dehumanizing to allow us to do this but really we’re just bottling things up.

@JamesNeilMeece @jph55555 @HandDocHTX @elonmusk Also each year the reimbursement from the insurance drops. I can only maintain my pay by seeing more patients in the same amount of time.
