Acute Care Surgeon in the making

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

It is long past time for us to revise our immigration system to one that is fair and forward-looking, invites innovation, and reflects the best values of our nation.

My latest thoughts on why we are long overdue for a fair, humane immigration system: https://t.co/GJDSW2uUgi

Today the mass shooting was horrific and the person who did it is in custody. The whole situation is terrible. Jayland Walker was shot at 90 times with 60 wounds and he is dead. As a trauma surgeon I have not seen some shot so many times. One is white(alive) one is dead(black)

People often ask trauma surgeons:
“What can I do?”

✅Take a Stop the Bleed course.

✅Buy a tourniquet (or 2).

✅Advocate for safe gun laws.
✅Vote.

If you teach trainees, start your teaching points at a more basic level than where you think you need to start.

- Most won’t speak up if you’re teaching over their head

- Everyone has a different educational background

- A good review never hurt anybody

@TheRealDoctorZ You are 10 out 10 going to become that person, and it will probably be for a Jack’s Mannequin song

I guess if I have to miss the NFL kickoff at least it’s for an urgent diagnostic/ex lap. #dabears #NFLKickoff #aws #ILookLikeASurgeon

Always feels good when a student you took time to teach tells you “I like surgery!” #ILookLikeASurgeon #surgery #aws #residentlife #MedEd #pgy3hereICome

Off to my first surgical medical mission and I forgot my malaria pills. Lol. Sierra Leone here we come! #ishi #GlobalSurgery #iknewiforgotsomething

@TheRealDoctorZ said I wasn’t allowed to Christmas until after Thanksgiving, but seeing as there’s no such thing as Thanksgiving music, this is definitely blasting now #sorrynotsorry @johnlegend @chrissyteigen #ChrissyIsMyLifeGoalz #itsthemostwonderfultimeoftheyear

Praying for the hearts tonight that will forever carry a scar. Stay safe, and remember God grants us all a limited amount of precious time. Make every second count.

There's no more room for divisive rhetoric. Gun violence is a societal burden that no one is insulated from. My heart is so heavy tonight - for my city, for the innocence lost, a fellow physician, a hero in blue.
Despite how you feel about the second amendment -
#enough

[Megan Chan // 阮明珠 @meganchanmd]

Lastly, during a time when representation is so critical, I mourn the loss of Dr. Tamara O'neal - a young black female physician, fellow alumnus of the University of Illinois at Chicago, beloved by those she worked with and served. May you rest in peace, and rise in glory.
