@jeffgadsden I thought the job of a fellowship was to teach them to figure it out

[Ron Ree @ronmree]

@franciscojlk Makes total sense but without interventional outcome data that is only conjecture.

@docmartin22 That’s gold

@nickmmark Not completely inane. Plenty of places put PACs in for routine cardiac surgery at all levels of risk. Even though it’s not the PAC itself, decisions and protocols made on the basis of that info frequently delay recovery and may cause harm.

@DrDiGiorgio At my school even “chief resident” is considered offensive to the indigenous people. They are referred to as “lead residents “.

Excited to share our 📜 on transcatheter MV repair/replacement outcomes in the very elderly @MayoProceedings

Octogenarians & nonagenarians vs. younger pts:
• ↔️ in-hospital safety outcomes ☠️ 🧠 🩸
• ↔️ all-cause & HF readmissions 🏥

Convert a continuous variable into a binary variable (hi/low) loses info unless n goes up

" in the most favorable case, the loss of information due to dichotomization would have to be compensated for by an increase in sample size by a factor = 1.57".

@TristinHopper The necessary changes to provide a modern efficient public healthcare system are beyond the capabilities and incentive structures of those leading and managing it currently.

[Ron Ree @ronmree]

@NicholasChrimes True. I use it to introduce uncertainty rather than direct opposition in a discussion

[Ron Ree @ronmree]

@BradenMannsYYC I agree, the ideal answer is to improve the efficiency of delivery of publicly funded surgical services. However in reality I feel that change of this magnitude this is outside the capability and incentive structure of our current managers and leaders.

@Paddy_Barrett Their discomfort about taking the statin is felt in their muscles

@AmyPearlman1 Nobody loves guidelines more than the guideline makers

[Ron Ree @ronmree]

@MichaelAlbertMD Obesity medicine may be different but in my specialty the number of high quality practice changing studies come along relatively infrequently so not a huge challenge to keep current.

[Ron Ree @ronmree]

@stansyke An intern doctor can independently do none of those things

[Ron Ree @ronmree]

@SyedAAhmad5 I don’t think that is true in my hospital

[Ron Ree @ronmree]

@DrGorfinkel Means nothing if it isn’t sustainable. If it requires two staffed ORs to carry out parallel processing then is it an improvement?

Just this week placed a stellate catheter which terminated a VT storm in a patient with scar related VT post emergency CABG. Infusion kept stable rhythm until danger period over.

[Public Land Use Society @PublicLandBC]

The Department of @FishOceansCAN is considering removing the principle that salmon are a public resource managed for all Canadians.

This would be a colossal shift in conservation law and public access.

If adopted, fishing would no longer be a shared right but a "privilege" granted by First Nations, placing non-Indigenous Canadians last.

@MadanNarayanan It’s possible. A PIB regime may have been better but with the results we got we are not going to be the ones to find out!
