Wednesday water wisdom: Give a man a catheter, and his bladder will be empty for a day. Teach a man to catheterize, and his bladder will be empty for the rest of his life. What other adages/axioms are ripe for adaptation to urology?

Sunday morning non-uromedical proclamation: 6/8 🎢 🎢 is the best time signature 🎼🎻 (disappointed that there are not bass clef and trombone emojis) Change my mind πŸ€”

Into my 7th year as some kind of resident taking primary call, and I've begun to appreciate the beauty in the overnight consult: 1. Educating/reassuring the patient during a stressful time. 2. Helping out another service with your expertise. 3. Doing the right thing. 1/

I know it can feel overwhelming when you fall into a "me vs. universe" rut. The isolation can be very burdensome, at times too much to bear. Someone is always available; don't be too proud to reach out. We're all on the same team, and that team is a lot larger than you think! 3/

Wrapping up: Seek out the opportunity in the immediate challenge Recruit patients/nurses/physicians/etc as allies in your quest to deliver excellent care Ask for help. Vulnerability doesn't have to be a liability And sleep when you can, but not at someone else's expense 4/4

While reading for academic day at Madigan, couldn't help but make this flowchart on surveillance recs for low risk NMIBC from AUA guidelines...because I am a huge nerd. Hope this helps someone/feel free to use for whatever! Feedback welcome 🧐 @jkfrankel @Ted_Wynne @VMUrology

To close the loop, low risk includes a single low grade Ta lesion less than or equal to 3 cm in size, as well as papillary urothelial neoplasm of low malignant potential (say that 5 times fast?)

Voted! Happy to be a part of this project; estimated particpation in 30 stent cases this past year, many using ICG. ICG w/o stents is super slick, and the abstract speaks for itself. Let's keep up the multi-disciplinary effort to push the envelope! @RPDonahue @awstamm @Twillfull
Grateful to be among 73 amazing abstracts. Check out & vote for cohort 1, group 5, abstract #11 (my 1st visual abstract!) Our colorectal surgery dept collaborates w/ @VMUrology as we show our experience of ureteral ICG w/ and w/o stents. @jakaplan @ValSimianu @RonRonChengMD
