@Awesomecloss Hi Hugh! I’d be happy to do a GR on endometriosis for the non-gyn surgeon if you ever want

[Elisa Jorgensen, MD @ejorgensenmd]

@AshleyGWinter @ISSWSH I always think I can pump during breaks at meetings but end up talking to ppl. If mtg does not have CCTV in lactation room you will miss a ton of the meeting. Now my setup for just pumping in front of others is the Baby Buddha and Freemie slim cups. & have hotel freeze milk!

Current @bidmcobgynrez and future @FMIGS1 @TesiaKim presents a video @AAGL #AAGL22 on early ureterolysis for peritonectomy for #endometriosis

[Elisa Jorgensen, MD @ejorgensenmd]

Amazing @bidmcobgynrez Chelsea Manning presents research #AAGL22 on racial disparities in utilization of #MIS #hysterectomy. Black pts >2x likely to have open surgery, & even after correcting for everything under the 🌞, 42% diff cannot be explained by clinical factors alone.

I loved seeing all of the award winning abstract presentations this am - from novel uses of Firefly tech to #PelvicPain exam 💎’s - showing off the breadth of #MIGS @AAGL #AAGL22

[Elisa Jorgensen, MD @ejorgensenmd]

I feel like I have been seeing more & more young pts with #adenomyosis - it’s nice to see that others are exploring #FertilitySparingTreatment of adenomyosis beyond throwing hormones at it. Standing room only @ Adenomyosis video session @AAGL #AAGL22

[Elisa Jorgensen, MD @ejorgensenmd]

@AsheeBritt Hi! I had made a video for BIDMC which I believe they still have on their Endometriosis Center website - perhaps that is what you’re looking for?

[Elisa Jorgensen, MD @ejorgensenmd]

@TesiaKim Hooray! Congrats Tess! 🎉 I feel like I’m the lucky one though in this deal since I get to keep working with you!!

[Elisa Jorgensen, MD @ejorgensenmd]

@SarahLJorgensen Also if trouble sleeping a traditional kindle (no blue light, won’t crush you when you drop it, and turns itself off) with a boring book can be really helpful. This saved me in residency and at same time I got to read a ton of “Great Books” I missed in school

[Elisa Jorgensen, MD @ejorgensenmd]

@SarahLJorgensen For shifts in sched Benadryl is helpful for getting to sleep & preventing waking. Your body becomes accustomed; if taking a lot you need a couple days off to reset every 2 wks. If dependent on antihistamines for sleep you can change the one you’re on, like use unisom on off days

@meenalmisalMD I haven’t used elagolix much, BUT I do have a lot of experience w MRI’s way overcalling endometriosis, including multiple patients marked for a colostomy who wound up only having superficial peritoneal dz. And this is w endo specialists & protocols in radiology 🤷‍♀️

@KaylaNixonMD @OlgaTheOBGYN @meenalmisalMD @otrowers_md @ChrisDeSteph @AakritiCarrubba @DrJessTraylor @MigsRunner @louise_p_king @MoMIGSMD @drjakelauer @jmourad1 @NishaGargMD @AngChaudhariMD @jchenmd_migs @WassonMegan @fareesa4_ @cclareMDMPH We have different PACU’s for admission vs SDD. The SDD PACU is staffed well into the evening. I think that makes a huge difference.

@louise_p_king @malstumd @MigsRunner @NMoawad_MIGS @Mikhail_MIGS @WassonMegan @KatieSmithMD I was a resident when the urogyn exam came out. A bunch of generalists who were doing slings & AP repairs took it & passed - fellowship urogyns at that time were upset that any old joe could call themself a urogyn. That has not seemed to happen in the 10 yrs since.

@olsonplanner Yes but this was 10-15 yrs ago

[Elisa Jorgensen, MD @ejorgensenmd]

@olsonplanner But yes, from filing taxes w no income and skipping grace period I had about 18 mos of $0 payments in my IDR

[Elisa Jorgensen, MD @ejorgensenmd]

@olsonplanner It is very easy to just fill out the tax return form on your own without software if you have $0 income. I always filed in Med school - and some years would get stimulus $$ etc that way

[Elisa Jorgensen, MD @ejorgensenmd]

@drdre424 @FMIGS1 I always go through OR images, and when I have radiology reports I always print them & go through w patient. Frequently there is something we consider totally normal that I find out the patient saw in their portal that’s been making them worried but didn’t know how to ask about

[Elisa Jorgensen, MD @ejorgensenmd]

THIS is what makes #AcademicMedicine worth it! July in the hospital always fills my cup @bidmcobgynrez @BIDMC_ObGyn
