@georgetolisjr Some of us are your residency contemporaries who detoured from an original plan to go into cardiac surgery specifically due to the malignant and frankly racist culture of the cardiac group at the time.

@eric_novack @EricTopol @CanyonRanch Good points, Eric N. It’s a slippery slope between what does have some scientific validation, what is still worthy of study, and what can be easily manipulated to those desperate for new approaches. (PS I was a year behind you at UCSF)

@Fender I won one of your new Quantum LT 16 interfaces in the “scratch and win” contest that was going on in your booth at NAMM but I’m still waiting to receive the item. How and when should we expect these prizes that were promised?

[Tim @timsayedmd]

@WHOOP your product is terrible. In the first week of having the device given to me as a gift, the sensor kept dislodging from the apparatus and eventually got lost because I didn’t even realize it had fallen off, so poor is the workmanship. You should refund for defective units!

@serjtankian is your Triple A Audio venture still a going concern? Your Qanun VST is still available for sale and yet it cannot be downloaded and there is nobody answering customer service. How do we get refunds?

@ChrisVMDHealth @georgetolisjr Some credentials are immutable once verified, like your medical degree. Why do we have to submit verified copies to the N+1st body after N previous verifications?? All we should ever have to update is malpractice cases, coverage, active privileges and disciplinary actions.

@tmorello Tool, Iron Maiden and KISS (a terrible carnival act) but no Allman Brothers Band, Pearl Jam, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, or Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band? Laughable.

@Harald_Gormsson @ThomasSowell Spot on. Helps to get semantics right when you are quoting an adage about semantics.

@cathpro3 @georgetolisjr Legend has it that a resident at the MGH once taped a pebble into a chart and noted the patient was “stable as a rock.”

[Tim @timsayedmd]

@JoChikweMD @DrBonesMD This is impressive. I trained at the MGH in general surgery and even as a PGY4 we were given almost NO opportunity in the cardiac cases to do anything meaningful. Point-blank the attendings were not interested in training residents on the cardiac service. Kudos to your program.

@pparikhxr @georgetolisjr The ASPS meeting is an absolute peacock strut of thirsty ribbon plumage. I refuse to put the ribbons on anymore.

[Tim @timsayedmd]

@TPP_MD Good insight. There is value to both the journey and each waystation. There’s only one final destination at the end, after all.

@mcuban Certainly, the Biden proposal of equating capital gains to ordinary income would provide a huge disincentive to taking risk on startups, real estate investing, etc.

@mysrgan @yashar @greg_price11 I presume it’s not for the visually impaired, but the hearing impaired. If you are reading captions, and you can’t see whose mouth is moving with a mask, when the caption states who is speaking, you can contextualize that if camera is not on them

@_BrainyMD_ @CedarsSinai @SocSurgOnc Congrats to you! You’ll be fortunate to have Dr. Ferrone as your Chair!

[Tim @timsayedmd]

@MyronRolle I remember the news stories back then. Seven years already!
Congrats to you from an MGH Surgery alum and hi to Bob Carter!

[Tim @timsayedmd]

@AvrilColeyMD @MSKCancerCenter @MGHSurgery From another MGH Surgery alum, congrats!

[Tim @timsayedmd]

@historyrock_ Putting Neil Young or Santana ahead of Prince, Lukather, Knopfler, Buckingham, Bloomfield, or Peter Green?? Insane.

@ATRightMovies Sophie making her choice

[Tim @timsayedmd]

@freakthenight @IEMcElroy @MGHSurgery It has been a long-standing tradition that all surgeons at the MGH, whether interns or experienced attendings (“visits”), wear short coats, underscoring the importance of lifelong learning. Much more egalitarian than codifying the totem pole based on coat length.
