@mwdingeldein @acsTrauma @arjensenmd @4BCampbell @mkotagal @falcone_rich @APSASurgeons @PediTraumaSoc @ReganWilliamsMD @deidre_wyrick @AmCollSurgeons For us more “senior surgeons” (dinosaurs) it is comforting to know the next generation is stepping up and moving us forward.

@BrooketheOstomy Ask my good friend Dr Tatebe.

[Bob Letton @DrBobJAX]

@BrooketheOstomy Brooke we are clearly from different generations, but, you have to have passion to do this job, and that passion is part of your life and part of your being. It is not a bad thing.

[Bob Letton @DrBobJAX]

@IanMitchellMD You did not…..

[Bob Letton @DrBobJAX]

@IanMitchellMD @shailinthomas The bigger question is do they own any clothes outside of the scrubs and what they wear from home to work and back.

[Bob Letton @DrBobJAX]

@TimJancelewicz @LeBPedSurg @LeBonheurChild @SurgeryUTHSC Awesome. Are they radio-opaque? Could be worse than magnets if we can’t see them

[Bob Letton @DrBobJAX]

@topknife @docmartin22 finally beat me into submission.

[Bob Letton @DrBobJAX]

@docmartin22 @kheirbek @DissanaikeMD @SamirGadepalli In general I agree. When it is a 6 year old at the end of a 5 week ECMO run for poorly managed pancreatic transaction, late transfer needing laparotomy and a 70 plus unit MTP you take what you can get and I will be glad to remove the skin graft and cLose that abdomen some day.

@AlexisMoren2 Getting in Saturday!!! #WTA2022

[Bob Letton @DrBobJAX]

@IanMitchellMD Sure is quiet…..

[Bob Letton @DrBobJAX]

@IanMitchellMD Fortunately I was at my surgeon/partner’s house and he had to carve it. Maybe the first time in 30 years I have not had to…..

[Bob Letton @DrBobJAX]

@Dr_Stepheny Yep. My world as well.

[Bob Letton @DrBobJAX]

@McGahaMD @OU_Surgery @SCOREsurg @AmBdSurg I was really sweating that out!!! Congrats.

[Bob Letton @DrBobJAX]

@KBrookeGolisch As it should be. We have the best job in the world. The lows can get pretty low, but the highs? Absolutely the best and usually way more of them.

[Bob Letton @DrBobJAX]

@OU_Surgery @anjallapeno @UFJaxTrauma @ArthurDGrimes @WakeSurgEd @YaleSurgery Look me up in JAX! Congrats everyone! The OUnTrauma Machine keeps producing the future trauma leaders!

[Bob Letton @DrBobJAX]

@JJcolemanMD @uofl @UofLDeptofSurg @UofLHealth That’s awesome. What a great step up and you’re also closer to those Vols now. Need to request box seats at the Derby every year in your contract!

[Bob Letton @DrBobJAX]

@IanMitchellMD I am amazed at how few residents no how to throw knots “squarely” and just throw “granny hitch” after “granny hitch”. They are also extremely thankful when I take the time to show them how. Also, lifting the patient off the table while tying is in general frowned upon.

[Bob Letton @DrBobJAX]

@OU_Surgery @CJHunter18 @OUPedSurg @OUHealth @OUCollegeofMed Congrats! Amazing what you have been able to accomplish since your arrival and in spite of the pandemic. The Division is in Great and Capable hands.

[Bob Letton @DrBobJAX]

@drdanmd @topknife Yes we do. When I was in OKC a dad asked me if I was the doc going to cut his kid. In front of the kid. Bad move.
