Heartbroken for my Memphis friends.

The impact of #GunViolence on Healthcare workers is real.

Dr. Benjamin Mauck, an orthopedic surgeon was murdered today.

Thinking of his family, friends, and colleagues like @MemphisFisch.

Let’s make sure we #HonorWithAction @ThisIsOurLane

This thread 👍🏻

[Rob Winfield @rwinfield11]

I’m sorry but unfortunately, this is a pervasive issue. I was at an editorial board meeting for a journal a few years back and the HPB and surgical oncology crowd I sat with made disparaging remarks about acute care surgeons throughout dinner (yes, right in front of me 😒).

@ChildrensCO_Pro @ChildrensColo Congratulations @AshGosain! So excited for you!!

No benefit and a statistically/ clinically significant increase in thromboembolic events, which is concerning for it potentially causing more harm. 😬

[Matthew Martin, MD, FACS, McRIB @docmartin22]

This was pretty predictable - no benefit of routine PCC in initial trauma resusc:

@DrChadTHOR @PediTraumaSoc What is this magic?

This is an excellent thread for surgery residents and medical students considering surgery!

🧵regarding the terminology of some common suture needle types.

This is a revised version of a 🧵I did several months ago (I’ve been on vacation 😎, and it’ll be a bit untiI I have new material).

This is the ubiquitous SH needle we all know. But what does SH stand for?

Today’s surgery rounds consisted of a very educational discussion on skin care amongst MDs, APPs, and RNs… and now I need to get my regiment updated and upgraded. Also, apparently there are things I should have already known and been doing 🫣 #alwayslearning

[Kate B Savoie, MD MS @drkt]

Great conversation of a difficult problem! ⁦@EAST_TRAUMA⁩ Interesting to hear none had done E/A tubes - definitely did them in residency at ⁦@SurgeryUTHSC⁩ within the last 10 years 🫣 https://t.co/HAJRbTxMAN

Thank you @kadtraumamd and the rest of the @YaleSurgery @BPTHOSP team for a wonderful weekend in CT. Our family is so excited to join you all and can’t wait to be here!

Congratulations to @austincamp for the acceptance of his case report to @journal_CHEST! It was great work; thank you for including me throughout the process.

@SenBillCassidy re your comments to @CNN - all families deserve paid leave regardless of SES. I’m a fully employed surgeon at a large tertiary referral center and has no paid leave and no paid time off. My maternity leave was FMLA. I’m lucky I could afford this but this is wrong

[Kate B Savoie, MD MS @drkt]

@DrRayMD 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[Kate B Savoie, MD MS @drkt]

Y’all should check this out!

Anyone else feel like they need a weekend to recover from the weekend?
