This is a really important question. Let’s begin testing single dose vaccine ASAP. nytimes.com/2020/12/18/opi…

An all-around amazing surgeon and true pioneer in our field (not just because of who she is, but what she does). Proud to call @AHayesJordanMD a mentor and friend.

Having spent too much time glued to MSNBC recently, I have developed a preference list for the evening commentators: Rachel > Chris > Nicole > Joy > Ari > Brian > Lawrence. Steve Kornacki of course in his own category. What's your list?

Children with acute appendicitis in the setting of neutropenia from chemotherapy do better with upfront appendectomy. Quicker recovery and fewer chemo delays. Congrats Benjamin T. Many MD, MS and psorc.org LurieChildrenSurgery

Amazing video. Great surgical history. Someone get those poor guys a Debakey’s to grab the needle. Oh and a bovie. And maybe a laparoscope...or a robot.

Great study by Seth Goldstein Mehul V Raval showing increased rates of perforations and complications when appendectomy delayed more than 16 hours. Not the purpose of this study - but these findings would also suggest that non-op management might lead to increased complications

Fascinating report on most "disruptive" publications in peds surg history. Most of the articles pass the sniff test, but there are a few outliers like #84 "Inguinal dermoid cyst presenting as an incarcerated inguinal hernia". Not exactly revolutionary. jpedsurg.org/article/S0022-…

A huge congratulations to Dr Melina Kibbe Melina Kibbe on being named DEAN at UVA. I am lucky to have benefited from her mentorship. She is a true superstar.

Thanks so much. Really appreciative to everyone who has helped me along my career to this point.

Very cool that Doximity let its physician-users participate in their IPO today. Fun watching the stock more than double in one day 😎

People who sit in offices all day think that every problem at the hospital can be fixed by a new order/dot phrase/template in Epic. Sorry, but it’s not that simple. Your “solutions” just leave us with a bloated EMR and the same problems.

Excited to welcome our new surgeon-in-chief Thomas Inge to Lurie Children's LurieChildrenSurgery. Looking forward to a bright future caring for the children of Chicago

So will the national vacutainer shortage finally make my #MedTwitter adult colleagues stop the silly practice of daily labs??
