Helene is a tragedy but with the ocean as warm as it is it unfortunately will happen again. Now imagine if the government was shut down like 82 Republicans voted for. Imagine if FEMA and NOAA didn't exist like in Trump's Project 2025. We need serious people in politics.
The best evidence for any cancer therapy “adjunct” is not a special diet or supplement, it’s exercise. The evidence is strong and statistically significant that patients with all stages of cancer do better and live longer with exercise. #bcsm#MedTwitter
If we could prescribe exercise in a FDA approved pill, 💊 our patients would want it, yet it’s difficult to motivate many patients to exercise when it is free of charge. Fascinating paper on anticancer immunity with exercise.

Hey @UHC my hospital is threatening to cancel surg for patient who is bleeding, anemic, has a huge submucosal fibroid - because YOU deemed the procedure medically unnecessary. In addition we’ve requested two P2P and no one has called me. unacceptable. Call me or DM immediately.
Much has been made of the declining life expectancy in the US.

Absolutely mindblown by @MigsRunner’s talk on the environmental impact of OR equipment.
“We have to get rid of the myth of single use superiority”. 🙌
SSI’s go DOWN when we get rid of shoe covers, bouffants, and plastic wrapped scrubs. It’s all dogma and culture.
Female doctors make $2 million less over a 40-year career than their male counterparts, new research estimates. More men become surgeons and women have been shown to spend more time with their patients, leading to fewer services that can be billed for. nyti.ms/31zKhkI
The data is compelling: high volume surgeons have better outcomes. Feel empowered to ask your Gynecologic or pelvic surgeon how many hysterectomies, slings, prolapse repairs, etc. they do per year. A reasonable rule of thumb is they should be doing them weekly. #SGS2023
🧵regarding the CUT and COAG modes of the device commonly referred to as a 'Bovie' or 'diathermy'. Both of these are misnomers, but you know what I mean.
We will go over what CUT and COAG mean, the variations thereof, and assorted other topics.

The human brain is incredible. It’s capable of both engineering a life saving mRNA vaccine and deciding that anti-parasitic cattle paste is a better option. Just unbelievable range.
