🧵for new residents and students: Over the last year, I've done 9 threads on different suture materials. Included here are links to each of these. I'll leave this 'pinned' for now. They are: Prolene, silk, Vicryl, PDS, Ethibond, Nylon, Monocryl, Chromic, and barbed sutures.

National Board of Physicians and Surgeons Richard J. Glassock Agree 100%. They leveraged recert solely for their retirement funds and salaries. Everything else, including their volumes of propaganda they have published since, was hogwash, otherwise “grandfathers” never would have been allowed.

Dual Chamber Aveir from Abbott with ICE-guidance targeting the mouth of the RAA. Love it. Controlled, safe implant. Very exciting option for some patients #EPeeps

Hey Westby Fisher, MD , C. Michael Gibson MD , Aaron Goodman - “Papa Heme” , I am hearing a flurry of stories from mid-cycle docs having their 10-year ABIM recertification revoked prematurely because of MOC payments!!! That means huge doc numbers to revolt!!! American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) -- MOC is toast! 🍞
