Trauma shears are great at cutting packaging, and bubble wrap! Since they are used in the hospital often in a trauma situation, where they are built to cut clothes off of people in emergency situations, they are also great for cutting other types of materials.

Today is National Physician Suicide Awareness Day.

I didn't reach my athletic peak until I was 43.
I didn't write my first book until I was 44.
I didn't start my podcast until I was 45.

At 52 I know it's just beginning.
Keep running. Never give up. And watch your kite soar.

To ensure a terrible nights sleep:
1) nap more than 90min in the afternoon
2) >100mg caffeine after 4pm
3) eat right before bed time (I confess I do this now and again, as I can’t fall asleep hungry)
4) Sleep in on weekends more than 1hr longer than usual duration
An intern in another residency at my program died from suicide last night, just two weeks into residency. Check on your interns and your residents. This job is hard enough without losing each other. Please let this be the last. #medtwitter
