Over the last year, women physicians told us their experiences, changed the way we communicate & advocated for dedicated spaces for nursing mothers at Pearson VUE test centers. Read a community update on where conversations have led us: blog.abim.org/community-upda… #WomenInMedicine

Most say provisional stenting is best for bifurcation lsns. Today largest analysis of bif techniques (21 RCTs, 5711 pts) published. DK-crush associated with best outcomes, principally d/t lower TLR w/trends for lower CD & MI. Has the tide turned – at least for true bifurcations?

I have to get a letter from my doctor that says I’m healthy enough to perform surgery.

That’s right, in a hilarious turn of events, I have to get cardiac clearance prior to cataract surgery.

Police vs. Physicians: a thread

If I wanna do a research study, I have to make a submission to the Institutional Review Board.

There's a big packet of forms with dozens and dozens of questions. Takes HOURS AND HOURS to fill out.

It's a titanic pain in the butt. /1
