The world's 1st designated Trauma Intensive Care Unit was established in 1966 @UMMC. It was developed by Dr. R Adams Cowley, who's philosophy, "The Golden Hour," highlighted the crucial importance of rapid treatment for trauma patients, significantly shaping ER medicine #SCCMSoMe
Dr. Rishi Kundi, Vascular Surgeon and Director of the GoTeam @shocktrauma at @ummc brings critical care straight to accident scenes, saving lives with innovative tactics like on-site whole blood deployment. Their work redefines trauma response in Maryland. https://t.co/aFl57iBTTJ

A 58-year-old patient with terminal heart disease became the second patient in the world to receive a historic transplant of a genetically-modified pig heart on Sept. 20.
He is recovering and communicating with his loved ones. This is only the second time in the world that a genetically modified pig heart has been transplanted into a living patient.
Both historic surgeries were performed by the @UMmedschool faculty at @UMMC.

Moving my daughter into college. She asked me to assemble the desk she ordered on line. This was harder than a Whipple. Egads.

Hi! I’m taking crochet commissions again!
I’m a 1st gen to attend college, don’t have family, and need to move to Miami. So, I thought I’d use my talents to earn some money towards my move.
If you’d like a commission while supporting a 4th year med student, DM me. #Match2023

In 1998, a small residency program in Colorado lost its accreditation.
It wasn’t the kind of thing that you’d expect to change the course of academic medicine.
And yet, it *almost* did.
Earlier, I explained how the Match started. Now, I’ll tell you how it nearly collapsed.

At #ASC, I got to use the @IntuitiveSurg#DaVinci Sim for the 1st time. Tried 3 Arm Relay 1 but had no idea how to move the camera or clutch instruments so I struggled (+ lots of excessive force 😅). Practiced a few times since & I’m definitely getting better 🎉 #RoboticSurgery
