This is my promise! My mom and dad, and uncle, and godmother were nurses, doctors, pharmacist! When I reopen my restaurants, I hope I will, every active Doctor and Nurse will eat for free for the rest of the year! Thankful #HeroesOfCovid19 @thinkfoodgroup

Due to current events, we will be postponing the March 31st PRS Grand Rounds live lecture with @jjanismd. Stay tuned for the announcement of the new date, coming soon.

Thank you all for your patience during this time, and we hope everyone is staying safe and well!

@6state @drdavidsong @drchrysopoulo @Ermanmd @patriciaclarkmd Thanks Terri for spreading the word! This is our experience with the ERAS protocol. It works wonders for our patients undergoing free flaps. Our patients now routinely take NO narcotics after surgery! https://t.co/AfUYkqHm3g

So much great information at #BC32020, it’s hard to choose! Would say 1) Get PM&R MDs like @EricWisotzkyMD involved early/often 2) surgical options for lymphedema continue to improve (though prevention is of course best) 3) interest in breast sensation is wonderfully widespread

[Kenneth L Fan, M.D. @KenFanMD]

@prsjournal @acondegreen Limiting Narcotics is always a good option !

Tremendous attendance & number of audience questions at this @AcademicSurgery #ASC2020 session shows surgeons are engaged & interested in health system leadership! Speakers were right on target with their insights, honesty, & encouragement. AAS will do more to satisfy this need!
