Lol this perfectly describes my life 😂

Wow what a mess American Board of Surgery! Not only was the registration fees all paid for, how about the precious time lost by the gen surg graduates to study for this exam! Some fellows use their limited and precious vacation time to study for this!

Great review on part of what I do in such a reputable journal 👍

My brother-in-laws who work for tech companies have been tested multiple times for #COVID19, paid for by the companies. On the other hand, there is no required testing for HCWs who are in extremely high-risk environment daily. #smh #CommonSense #wearejustwarmbodies

Congratulations to Dr. Amish Dave and Philip Chou MD FACS of Houston Methodist on a successful lead extraction with the #AngioVac System! Their use of the AngioVac system prevented material from embolizing to the lungs. We are proud to partner with such talented physicians.

Having a great time learning from experts in The ISHLT Academies MCS on cardiogenic shock and mechanical support! Houston Methodist CV Arvind Bhimaraj @Abiomed Abbott Cardiovascular

Thank you to Dr. Philip Chou MD FACS all of the physicians who attended our inaugural Endovascular Therapies for the Venous System Master Course in Las Vegas last weekend! Countless physicians got their hands on the #AngioVac System and shared insights and techniques with peers.

What a privilege to listen to an excellent talk by Dr. O.H. "Bud" Frazier on history of mechanical circulatory support at DeBakey CV Education - World Class CV Training grand rounds! 🙌#MCS #LVAD Houston Methodist CV Houston Methodist Arvind Bhimaraj Ju Kim Mahwash Kassi Cindy M. Martin

Trends in surgical fellowship applications... Peds and surg onc both less competitive... CT increasing dramatically... What's driving? What are PDs telling their residents these days?

I performed the 100th Impella 5.5 (and first gen 2!) at Houston Methodist CV! could not have accomplished this feat without the support of our tireless and excellent team! Adv Biomed Houston Methodist #impella #cardiogenicshock #bridgetotransplant

In Opinion “Today, I will explain to my healthy transplanted heart why, in what may be a matter of days or weeks at best, she — well, we — will die,” writes Amy Silverstein, an author, in a guest essay. nyti.ms/3V0iodr

Despite being invited by The ISHLT to participate in #ISHLT2023 Denver to learn, contribute and exchange ideas about heart txp, lung txp, ECMO and MCS, I'm instead holding down the fort here at Houston Methodist CV #justafewmoremonths #payingdues 🤷🏻😮‍💨

Well this made my commute to our office this morning rather entertaining. This is at the high-profile corner of Montrose and Westheimer just before some ongoing roadwork.

Huge congratulations to Dr. Chou, our eighth inductee this year to the Fellowship of American College of Surgeons!🎉 American College of Surgeons #ACSCC24
