Trauma patients w/ palliative care consults obtained within 72 hours of admission experience reduced hospital costs, reduced hospital & ICU length of stay, reduced ventilator days & reduced rates of tracheostomies and surgical feeding tubes

@BBankheadMD @TTUHSCSurgery Good carbs to go with our “-ein(e)s” … protein and caffeine 😁

[Brittany K. Bankhead MD @BBankheadMD]

Sorry but there’s no amount of *wellness module* that will ever be as fulfilling as when I send @sbrooksmd a text at work that “fyi I’ll be in a counseling session the next hour” (I go q3months just bc they’re great 😌).

And his reply?

“Great! Get out of here!”

[TTUHSC Department of Surgery @TTUHSCSurgery]

Happy #DoctorsDay to all our residents and attendings!

I think I speak for *all* trauma surgeons at *all* Level 1 trauma centers today when I say:

THE ROADS ARE BAD.
SLOW DOWN.
