Our leadership has been promising a new “content strategy” to guide our work and solve our budget deficit for nearly a year. But deadlines were missed. And despite the newsroom’s best efforts to be involved in the process, our attempts were in vain. 🧵

For as long as I’ve been a surgeon, I’ve been told that to be successful, one has to be a “triple threat.” But I wish to tell future surgeons to instead “Choose Your Own Threat” - and bring those diverse passions into surgery, even if they’re different jamanetwork.com/journals/jamas…

Well-deserved honor for a terrific person and thoughtful and compassionate surgeon. Ronald Stewart, thank you for your positive influence in the growth and development of so many of us.

Undermine internal disinformation controls + incentivize “engagement” with rage-bait through ad revenue sharing = dumpster fire of fake news

Is it even worth being on this platform anymore?

Good read on a complicated issue. On net, I like the access for patients: yes, challenges but also new opportunities. But I am sure it is influencing how we write notes, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. newyorker.com/news/essay/the… The New Yorker

#SSO2023 with Inova Surgery Residents representing! Peter Learn MD Samantha Seitter

Once again we are watching the Military Health System suffer from malign neglect, leaving military physicians, nurses, techs, and corpsmen who want only to take excellent care of patients fending for themselves.

Today I published my story in Journal of Clinical Oncology about a patient threatening to kill me and the trauma (and shame) associated with this threat and the continued effects of that threat years later ascopubs.org/doi/abs/10.120…

Did anyone else make a solitary request that the entirety of #DarkSideOfTheMoon be played in today’s OR music rotation?

Thank you USU/WRGenSurg residents for your commitment to patients in Military Health System. Fortunate to have worked with you and glad that I still see some familiar faces now and then. #ThankAResidentDay

Thank you Inova Surgery Residents residents for your hard work and commitment to our patients Inova. #ThankAResidentDay
