How’s this for “girl dinner”- smashed a protein bar 2 saltines before a liver transplant My “girl breakfast”- another protein bar 🥲

🧵regarding the 2-handed knot tying technique, and specifically whether it has *any* advantages over the 1-handed method. We'll cover why one should practice tying with a 2-handed technique, and also go over the important concept of why it's easier to tie 'up in the air'. (1/ )

Had an AWESOME attending who was patient enough to let this intern do her first lap appy! #Week9of260

Amazing 24 hours in Baltimore presenting on Pediatric Firearm Suicides and Older Adult Trauma Patients at #SAAS2023. UTHSC Department of Surgery Duke Surgery SocAsianAcadSurg

Y’all ever wake up in a panic to run to a code, fall down the stairs in your warm blanket, and realize that all of the above happened in a dream? #Week14of260 #MedTwitter

Best luxury as a resident: not having to set an alarm for the next morning before going to go to bed

Got to scrub a case with one of my surgery attendings who has known me since I was a second year medical student and right before, he pulled me aside to tell me how proud he was of me already as a baby intern. Just made my day honestly🥲 #Week22of260

I'm putting the finishing editing touches on my story of the first class of general #surgery residents at Baylor Scott & White Health All Saints Medical Center being all women! All of their first names also start with the letter "K." Catch the story at 4:30 and 7 p.m. today on CBS News Texas!

North Texas medical center's first general surgery residents class is all female cbsnews.com/texas/news/nor…

The general surgery residency program had their end of year celebration dinner this past week. Dr. Rusty Milhoan was awarded the Faculty Member of the Year, voted on by the residents. Dr. Kavneet Kaur was awarded the Resident of the Year, voted on by the general surgery faculty.

Program Director Dr. Ruiz lead a vascular anastomosis skills lab. A benefit of the program is that they cover the cost of a pair of Loupes for the residents to have at the beginning of their second year.
