🚨 AI won’t replace doctors… but it can prevent them from learning how to think.
A critical article in @NEJM shows that if introduced too early in medical training, it weakens clinical reasoning.
✅ A good doctor will always need critical thinking.

Redo🧵regarding 'straightening the wire' during central line placement.
There are a few of my 🧵worth repeating for each group of new interns; IMO this is definitely one of them.
If you do a lot of central lines, this technique will come in handy over and over again.

(1/x) Intubating patients with shock in the ICU is by far the most dangerous bedside procedure we perform in ALL of medicine.
There is a 3.1% cardiac arrest rate during ICU intubations (JAMA 2021: PMID 33755076)
Here’s how you can make it as safe (as possible) 👇
won an award for my research with FLIO and PD today! big thanks to @HeidelbergEngUK , @NeuroatJeff , and the EyeBrain Center as well as both Elizabeth Affel and Dr. Robert Sergott for their unwavering support and guidance.
presented my work about the cost of intraop dural tears with @AhilanSiva ‘s Lab to students, faculty, and benefactors of the SPRING Program at SKMC. Huge thanks to Dr. Siva, @ariamahtabfar , and the whole cost analysis research group for their help on this project! @TJUHNeurosurg
Huge thanks to the @mappdapp team: Dr. Gray, Rachel, and many many others for inviting me to speak at MappdCon! I have always loved interacting with premeds and sharing my experience at @JeffersonUniv with others! Collaboration, not competition. 👍🏻
happy to announce our FLIO & neuroimaging PD studies were presented at @movedisorder in Copenhagen. Great things to come in the early detection of PD. big thanks to Dr. Sergott, @MahdiAl25044212 , and Dr. Liang along with others for their guidance! @TJUHNeurosurg@JeffersonRads
I’m a spine surgeon. That means I make money by performing spine surgeries. The more surgeries I schedule, the more money I make. The more invasive those surgeries are, the more money I make.
Conflict of interest…?

Was able to mentor and welcome the SKMC Class of 2027 today! It was a honor and pleasure to be chosen to be a peer mentor to a group of these students! What a wonderful class. The future of medicine is brighter with them in it. @JeffersonUniv#SKMC
accepted!! @CNS_Update grateful for this opportunity, and it definitely won’t be the last! Thankful for all of the amazing help from Jefferson’s Neurosurgery, Neurology, and Radiology departments! #Neurosurgery@TJUHNeurosurg
As my Step 1 exam approaches, I found myself turning to ChatGPT while reviewing my UWorld questions. I have ADHD, which comes with excellent pattern recognition skills but poor rote memorization ability. Asking ChatGPT to talk to me like I'm 5 has helped SO much in helping me...
As a cardiologist, every day I see 2-3 patients who need clearance for surgery 🔪
ALL of them are on blood thinners🩸
Every surgeon wants to stop these medicines💊
The patients ask:
Is it safe?
Should I stop?
Let's see how to deal with blood thinners before surgery
