Come to a great Pediatric Surgery Video session at 11:30 am, SDCC 31 BC. First moderator session for me at the #ACSCC22 with my great mentor Stefan Scholz. @AmCollSurgeons

As the services and funerals of the victims of gun violence hold our sorrow and grief, we also mourn the senseless loss and celebrate their lives with their families and communities. 🧵 1/8

@drdanmd @RexChapman Depends on where the restricted area is...but since obviously has position I would say charge

[Dorry Segev @Dorry_Segev]

For the record, this is still the first wave. New record today. 99 days to get to 1 million cases; 43 days to 2 million; just 28 days to 3 million. Sadly, we're REALLY FAILING, despite knowing exactly how to fix this (as so many other countries have already done). Embarrassing.

@othmanam @aalthans I second that opinion. Not that I ever did anything to my car, but my wife always had a good experience with them.

@patricio_lau @BCM_Surgery @TCHPediSurg Looking forward to having you join the team @Nicklaus4Kids! I’ve heard great things from @Zamurai1617. Congrats on finishing residency! Enjoy your time off.

@CHPtransplant Great picture! I was fortunate to meet Dr. Starzl during my transplant rotation thanks to Dr. Marsh. Reminds of the quote from Cutting for Stone:”Until recently, it’s fair to say that every liver tx surgeon in the world was trained by Starzl or someone who trained with Starzl”

DACA recipients are our colleagues in medicine, they serve our country in uniform, and they are now parents raising children of their own. AAP stands with them in celebration of today’s momentous ruling. Our full statement: https://t.co/ghHHvK4ydh

[American Academy of Pediatrics @AmerAcadPeds]

A federal rule released last night rolls back protections for transgender people and sets a dangerous precedent that could jeopardize children's health in other ways, all in the midst of a global pandemic. We oppose the rule. Pediatricians care for all children.

[NEJM @NEJM]

Our country’s long and troubled history of racism has permeated the physician–patient relationship with mistrust. Now, amid an acute public health crisis, perhaps we have an opportunity to reset our priorities to face this deeper, more chronic crisis as well.

[Shahab Shaffiey @shaf210]

Great visual tool to help us all move toward becoming #antiracist. I’m working on becoming more educated on the topic, so watched @13THFilm last night. Now reading: How to be an Antiracist by @DrIbram

Learning a lot and striving to be better. Created this visual mental model as a way to help keep myself accountable (Adapted from one I had seen for #COVID a couple months ago.)

Becoming Anti-Racist: Fear, Learning, Growth. #BlackLivesMatter

[Shahab Shaffiey @shaf210]

We kneel because we want to end the racial injustice that is prevalent in our justice system, our education system, and for us in our healthcare system. We kneel now and next we need to act #blacklivesmatter #WhiteCoatsForBlackLives #BeTheChange @APSASurgeons

[Nicklaus Children's @Nicklaus4Kids]

Today the Nicklaus Children’s family gathered for 10 minutes of silence in memory of George Floyd and countless others. Our hearts are with those who feel sadness, outrage and frustration. We see you, we hear you, and we are with you. #WhiteCoatsForBlackLives

[Alex Cuenca @Agcuenca_123]

Just like medical professionals... some jobs can’t have bad apples. Our patients and the public expect that bar. We should be able to expect that of those trusted to defend and protect us.
