Alex Zverev was diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes at the age of just 4. He needs regular insulin injections, and has to manage his condition carefully.

You never heard @AlexZverev moan, complain or ever use it as an excuse.

He is now a GRAND SLAM CHAMPION!

@jdimick1 Dare I suggest that appendicitis was as close to optimization as any general surgical condition has gotten, but because of its ubiquitous nature, it lends itself to large database studies and as such, there continues to be motivation to continue to work on this non-problem.

Happy National Doctors’ Day:

Except for the GI doc who is making me get a HIDA scan to prove this is a bile leak.

I texted back my latest vision exam instead. He wasn’t amused.

@SkyNews Always with the long distance robot surgery.

You still have to have someone there that can salvage the situation if things go bad. Meaning a specialist.

or:

You have to be OK with not having such a person on-site. In which case, if things go wrong then it’s too bad I guess. 🤷‍♂️

A lot of people in academic medicine explain things in an overcomplicated fashion, in part to create a certain mystique around themselves and give others the impression that they understand things at some higher level than the average practitioner is able to.

It works especially well if the person sounds confident when they speak, because the listener will usually not have enough mastery of the subject to question them on it. People think that when they can’t understand what’s being said, that the problem is with themselves. Entire careers are built on this dynamic.

As learners, you have to recognize that this behavior is often false. True geniuses do exist, but are rare. The prevalence of individuals that truly understand things that no one else can is definitely much less than 1 per department.

The 2 take-home messages from this are:

1) In general you want your teachers to spend most of the time making things reductive; in other words, making them seem simpler, not more complex.

2) the confidence with which someone says a thing has little correlation to whether it is true or not. Being a good salesperson helps one’s career in medicine as much as it does in other fields, and you have to recognize when the person talking to you is bluffing.

I make no apology for posting this photo. I think it’s a photo that will haunt America in the years to come.

This is what you have become. If you defend this, have a word with yourself.

When did police start dressing like Fortnite characters? And what is camouflage good for in a city? Dress is a form of speech and we need to pay attention to the message we’re being sent.

Can anyone tell me which frame of this video the ICE officer is hit in the torso?

@CBSNews Medically speaking, you do not get internal bleeding from shooting a woman in the face, and then pretending to have been run over.

More than 2400 years ago, Hippocrates published the first comments about robotic cholecystectomy:
