@DenboJw @AGangiMD @SyedAAhmad5 @sepideh_gholami @HopSTranCao @JBMatthews @HoggNDMD @HPB_Surgeon @FlavioRochaMD @DanielAnayaMD @MHepatobiliary That’s very generous of you. I claim the aux cord in my room. Music varies widely, but no techno/EDM, country, squeaky pop or blink182.

@MihirMShah1 @HPB_Surgeon @SyedAAhmad5 @HoggNDMD @laleh_melstrom @KevinElHayekMD @TheNotoriousHPB @Seanpcleary @FlavioRochaMD @MonicaDuaMD @AmerZureikatMD @EmorySurgery @motazqadan Interesting technique! What material are you wrapping/suturing to the stump at the end? Are you attaching that with a trans pancreatic silk?

[Patrick Lorimer, MD @surgoncmd]

@MSharifpourMD Agree. I’d way have a holey artery in the OR. I thought you were saying vein was preferable—clearly way worse!

[Patrick Lorimer, MD @surgoncmd]

@ericpaulimd Nooooo

@TsengJennifer This is the second time in my teenager’s short life where we have woken up surprised and disappointed—he then asks “dad, why did he get elected? Are we going to be safe? What are we going to do?”

So that’s fun.

[Patrick Lorimer, MD @surgoncmd]

@SAGES_Updates Oh, you know, doing everything I can to ignore things I can no longer influence.

[Patrick Lorimer, MD @surgoncmd]

@TheNotoriousHPB @LVHN @TJUHospital Congrats Lee!

[Patrick Lorimer, MD @surgoncmd]

@TomVargheseJr @ericpaulimd This is most accurate. Surgical lightsaber.

[Patrick Lorimer, MD @surgoncmd]

@TheNotoriousHPB Totally. We shouldn’t have to give up our entire lives for our careers, but it isn’t 9-5pm with every weekend off for most.

@Todd_From_Tampa @shannonrwatts Not sure what you are getting at here, but no I do not. I have a child with disabilities.

I was expressing the fact that I lived through a time when that word was thrown about regularly and I was uncomfortable with it then as I am now.

[Patrick Lorimer, MD @surgoncmd]

@shannonrwatts This is appalling.

[Patrick Lorimer, MD @surgoncmd]

@marklewismd Excellent work by @StefanoCrippa6 and co helping us understand it’s not just size or ca19-9! Resectability is a composite endpoint comprised of imaging, biology and performance status.

@DenboJw @DanielAnayaMD @SyedAAhmad5 @FlavioRochaMD @AHPBA @HopSTranCao @BC_Odisio @JavleMilind @curecc @rachnatshroff @AGangiMD @JeyarajahRohan @HoggNDMD Agreed.

[Patrick Lorimer, MD @surgoncmd]

@Fil_Bednar You completed rounds before the sun came up?!

[Patrick Lorimer, MD @surgoncmd]

@HalletJulie Yes to all of that! My other, rather substantial pet peeve is stating that patients have “failed” lines of therapy. Lines of therapy have failed them.

[Patrick Lorimer, MD @surgoncmd]

@TheNotoriousHPB @AlexanderLoftu9 @MElshamiMD @jj_hue @VictoriaSWu_ @AHPBA @IHPBA @hpbjournal Nice work @TheNotoriousHPB!

[Patrick Lorimer, MD @surgoncmd]

@ericpaulimd Oh my god.

[Patrick Lorimer, MD @surgoncmd]

@ZhiVenFongMD They always would prefer more.
