@LeahGabriel12 @UofTVascular @trisharoymd @ma_hussainMD If they aren't going to be impressed with the quality of your surgery, they may as well at least be impressed with the quality of your dress...

@UofTVascular @UofTSurgery AND to our fearless leader, @TL_Forbes for taking home the Tovee award!

[Cale Zavitz @calezavitz]

@TL_Forbes @halletjulie Already wrote back to PARO, and pointed them to the @CMPAmembers FAQ on the issue. In the absence of appropriate PPE, refusal to work could theoretically be the basis for a college or hospital complaint which would (one hopes) quickly be struck down.

@Jimmy_Yan @Mase911_ @Royal_College @WHO @snurmoh layers of clobetasol so deep even the coronavirus can't penetrate?

@JohnTory we live in Pape/Danforth. Literally no road work all day long. Now a backhoe ripping up our street after midnight. No way anyone could sleep through this, least of all kids. Crew, 311, and "field ambassador" all useless. Seriously?!

I feel like @DavidJuurlink may have something to say...

[SurgicalAxioms @AxiomsSurgical]

Never say “Oops!” in the operating room. Say “There!”

Usage: “There! I made a hole in the aorta.”

@_davidkim @ResidentDoctors @CMA_Docs 2/2 Partly because a 24+h call shift is very different from flying a plane. Blanket duty hour restrictions aren't the solution

[Cale Zavitz @calezavitz]

@_davidkim @ResidentDoctors @CMA_Docs 1/2 Partly because there's no consistent evidence to suggest it reduces medical error. Partly because duty hour restrictions like that also have (unintended) harms, including some negative impacts on education and on "wellness".

McCreary: Cefazolin does not share a side chain with any other beta-lactam. That means there ZERO cross reactivity. The only patients who shouldn't be getting cefazolin are those with a known cefazolin allergy. @ErinMcCreary #ASHP18 #IDintheED #ASHPEM

@porterairlines I bought a MTL -> TOR ticket a week ago, checked in today for my 0840 departure tomorrow and now it's cancelled and I'm "rebooked" at 1400. Explain how that's okay?
