In honor of the new residency application cycle, I asked chatGPT to write a CT abdomen pelvis report using Gen Z lingo

Better care to our patients starts with how we frame it. Great reframing of how to introduce life-sustaining care in critically ill patients.

[JAMA @JAMA_current]

Viewpoint expresses how use of certain language complicates decision-making for critically ill patients, and it highlights alternative phrasing for effective communication. https://t.co/5VqMvx25P3

I read “When Death Becomes Life” years ago & now I’m listening to it on Audible again. Such a great book by surgeon-author Joshua Mezrich, MD.

Also: surreal moment re-realizing that this part is about my #transplant buddy, Nate @nathanbaggett

Another example of how using storytelling in the best case/worst case model improved shared decision making for critically ill patients.

[Shunichi Nakagawa @snakagawa_md]

First of all, we need to decide whether or not to do surgery.

The best tool for this is BC/WC model by @GretchenSchwa10

The beauty in this model is, by giving the WC of surgery and the BC of no surgery, you can create the story for both options.

Of course hemodynamics, VEXUS, vent graphs, sepsis management etc are important. But, other events around us are more important.

If only I had tried this first! Could have saved me three liver transplants — and all for only $25! A steal!

[Jennifer Gunter @DrJenGunter]

Selling your untested supplement as a liver condom is sooooooo sketchy

[Daniel Van Sant @DSMCripster]

Like so many of us I’m in shock and devastated by our loss. I met with her just last week! I already miss her mentorship, strength, and sense of humor. She was just so funny. I can’t believe she’s gone. Rest in power, Judy.

BID forever.

[Starzl Transplantation Institute @InstituteStarzl]

A medical breakthrough for patients, FK-506 was a more effective and potent immunosuppressant than what had been used previously. Dr. Starzl and his team of researchers were instrumental in its development and in providing support for its widespread use.

@AG_EM33 Haha, haha same thing happens all the time. “Memories at UW Hospital” 🫠

@reverendofdoubt This would be a killer feature for Epic (not an acronym). Would love to have “smart phrases in the cloud.”

Nothing more amazing or lifesaving than transplantation!

[Christine Lam PhD, MS @christineytlam]

Finished my rotation with the liver transplant service @UCLAHealth! As a med student with primary sclerosing cholangitis, this rotation felt especially meaningful. It was a privilege to help with the surgeries that we #PSC patients see as our cure 🙏🏻 #MedTwitter #LiverTwitter

@AG_EM33 Our group got rid of recertification for all ER docs 🙌

It’s true! Paging @jeannina_smith

@DukeHernia @DukeSurgery @DukeSurgRes Congrats!

@Dallas_Holladay You can buy a stethoscope if needed.

@MattSmithMDPhD “I’ll remember what I was doing here” is the greatest lie ever told.
