Great idea.

@bulgercot @traumadoctors Thanks Dr Bulger! Very grateful for the support of @traumadoctors research scholarship in kickstarting this work, and the great community at AAST.

@the_dpg @UAlbertaSurgery @ZoneTrauma Thanks Damian! Always so good to connect with colleagues from Canada. Come visit Utah anytime - I hear the skiing’s not bad.

@jimhotalingmd @masayaj @UtahUrology That only one person was wearing a helmet?

@strowhiro General surgery residency program: “Are you married or single?”, followed by “Oh don’t worry, we have a very good record of setting people up by PGY-2”.
Did not rank it. Apparently we had different priorities.

[Marta McCrum @martamccrum]

@sudhapjay This speaks to me today. Looking forward to having a similar conversation after my efforts to expedite urgent surgery and avoid unnecessary added ED, imaging and transport charges. Sigh.

[Marta McCrum @martamccrum]

@JasonHanMD Exactly. At worst, this interpretation can be used by hospitals to justify inadequate staffing (particularly of acute care/trauma surgeons who take 24h in-house call) to save $. Sometimes it’s not a “choice” of the surgeon.

Assault weapons make mass shootings possible. We call for a federal #AssaultWeaponsBan on military-style firearms. @NYTimes @NPR @ATFHQ @Voxdotcom

[Carrie Sims, MD PhD☮️ @carriesims20]

State unequivocally that assault weapons/high capacity magazines should be banned, demand universal background checks, age limits, waiting periods, universal registration and training. Stop holding our conferences in states that don’t support these values. Help us work with govt

@nataliemwall I feel your pain. When I moved to the US halfway through residency, I had to manually log three years of cases to convert across systems. It was a very long weekend.

@ZainHashmiMD @joshua_b_brown @BCLee_MD @TomVargheseJr @elliotthaut @mcevoymdmph @en0rr @md_tadlock @shane_jensen19 @MollyJarman @DctrJByrne @jaydoucet @TWCostantini @KerbyJD_UAB @RamNirula @UofUSurgery Absolutely. For system planning, likely need to adopt a package of metrics that include distance/time as well as hospital capacity and population need. Distance alone underestimates disparities. https://t.co/qGuCPK29QF

@kipsDS2010 @AJHWilliamson @UtahGenSurgRes @UofUtrauma @UofUOSE @Kronos_76 @sudhapjay @SarahLombardoMD Don’t notice it - especially when concentrating on patient care. Great opportunity to learn from watching other surgeons in the bay. Still hate hearing my voice on tape though…

[Marta McCrum @martamccrum]

@topknife @UofAZSurgery @TaylorRiall @UofAZSurgeryRes @mikeditillo @AdamcitoDos @sgworrell @ImanGhaderi Very cool. Suggest blacking out home address in picture though.

[Marta McCrum @martamccrum]

@dr_badami @topknife @EAST_TRAUMA Former J-1 here. This is a great idea!Options exist for academic, non-academic and rural practice but options vary by state. Understanding the ins and outs makes a very stressful job search slightly easier.

[Marta McCrum @martamccrum]

@ShariDunawayMD I still feel this way occasionally as an attending trauma surgeon.

[Marta McCrum @martamccrum]

@TawnyaBowles It also places the junior members and trainees in a difficult position as first-author / presenters. Particularly as they are more likely to have young/unvaccinated children at home. Need a hybrid option at least.

@DrCatherineB Had this situation this summer. Husband left a day early and drove. I flew with 3-year old who’s good with masks. He picked us up at airport and we drove home together (split into two days). Count the rest of your trip towards “quarantine time”.
