Watching kids run up to each other then stop a few feet apart and air hug still breaks my heart but reminds me how impressively adaptable they are, having found ways to share joy from a distance. #CovidKids

I’d recommend all med students check out all the MCG Urology tips to learn how to thrive as a newbie in the OR. Everyone else should watch to remind ourselves that OR etiquette/skills need to be learned...and therefore taught! #surgicaltraining #MedEd #MedTwitter

Dr. A. C. Jackson, a physician and Meharry Medical College grad, killed in the #TulsaRaceMassacre on June 1, 1921 after a night caring for wounded neighbors. Read his story. Consider his obstacles. Honor his memory. Teach his legacy. #100yearslater bit.ly/34wX3Pa

Stress dream about getting back in the OR after a year of research: For my first case back I scrubbed, gowned, then confidently grabbed some regular nitrile gloves out of the box on the wall...oops #researchyear

My 9 yo starts asking about a #pedsurology chapter I left on the table, so I start drawing. For simplicity sake I draw it like this…then she flips the page and says, “Dad what’s the Meer Wayyy…Meeer Waygurt law?” 🤦‍♂️ Hope I don’t get fired from @VUMCPedsUrology for this drawing.

Pumped for first day back in the OR after research year. First day of my last year of training. First day in the OR with @VUMCPedsUrology superstar faculty. First day with superstar Vanderbilt Urology residents. First day jitters eeeek. Let’s do this! #changingoftheguard #july1

Started the season with high hopes for my hometown (Cleveland Browns), current hometown (Tennessee Titans) and future hometown (Arizona Cardinals). I had fantasies of a “win-win” super bowl. Well, so much for that. Jennifer Abelson your approach to football leads to so much less heartbreak 💔

PSA to anyone who is ever going to need credentials at a hospital: Keep a secure file with med school diploma, NBME score reports, training program verification letters/certificates, malpractice coverage proof, state license verifications, DEA #'s etc...you'll thank me later

My son is DJ’ing in the car…“Sam, great music choices! What are you playing?”… “I don’t know, I searched for Dad Music.” Way to know your audience, Sam! Great playlist by the way. open.spotify.com/playlist/6IJ4i…

How sweet is the satisfaction when you teach someone to tie a knot for the first time?! Even sweeter when he runs up to you a few minutes later and says “Dad, I did both shoes myself and even double knotted them!”
