The Canton Fire Department is the first in Massachusetts to equip its ambulances with blood for transfusions, potentially transforming the way emergency responders treat victims of severe trauma. trib.al/mOlIaBI

Supporting a diverse surgeon workforce: embracing personality and supporting psychological resilience to improve surgeon health and wellbeing ➡️doi.org/10.1093/bjsopen/zrae… 🔎Have a look at the invited commentary on the article by Greville-Harris et al. : doi.org/10.1093/bjsopen/zrae… 👉Individual support (be it through resilience training or other psychological support), a cultural shift wherein providing wellbeing is prioritized, and persistent attention to areas of healthcare delivery systems that can be improved and optimized to reduce the burden on healthcare providers are undoubtedly necessary to curb the tide of burnout, stress and depression that poses a threat to the surgical workforce. 👏👏👏Tasha M Hughes, Carrie E Cunningham #SoMe4Surgery #MedTwitter #SurgEd #Surgery @me4_so @BJSAcademy @BJSurgery @young_bjs @juliomayol @JJEarnshaw @OUPMedicine

Attending follow-up is not associated with decreased emergency department use or unplanned readmission, indicating a need for more creative methods of post-discharge contact. Read at: journals.lww.com/journalacs/…

Let's explore the intersections between surgery, ancestry, SES, and SDoH! Register to join us for our first National SRS Research Seminar hosted in conjunction with the @UABSurgEquity with guests @RootGal210 and @DrAndreaGillis1

Gentle reminder about the “F-word” (not that one). The concept of “Medical futility” has an important place in academic and philosophical discussions of ethics and practice, but the word rarely builds bridges at the bedside. #hapc #medicalethics

Brilliant presentation by @PaulinaSalminen - The #BJS Lecture at #SIS2024 @BJSAcademy @BJSurgery @BjsOpen @SISEurope

Prof @PaulinaSalminen changing paradigms in appendicitis! What a spectacular BJS Lecture at the @SISEurope congress. 1- We talk about 2 different diseases: complicated and uncomplicated. 2- The therapeutic decision is not "YES or NO". 3- The APPAC series of studies demonstrates that most uncomplicated appendicitis will not need surgery. 4- What if we do not even need ATBs? 5- The rate of tumors behind abscessed appendicitis is NOT 14.4%. 6- Interval appendectomy after abscess is mandatory. Simply BRILLIANT! #SISE2024 @BJSurgery @BJSAcademy @juliomayol @InesRPsurg @MarjoleinBlusse @kemrasa @safesurg

Why are doctors always late? Why are they always tired? Why must they see >20 patients daily to keep the lights on? It’s important to empathize with each other. Thanks for this powerful analogy, @jjfitzgeraldMD.

Dec. we became the 1st prehospital whole blood program & ground EMS field transfusion in MA with partners in law enforcement. Today we’ve trained a unique group of paramedics to provide for civilians. @S_Theodore_MD @MeganJaneway @The_BMC @BMCSurgery @TraceyDechert @BillGalvin4MA

.@CMTorres_MD and the @BostonTrauma team are working hard to improve survival for trauma patients. @The_BMC 👏

Listening to today’s deliberations of #SCOTUS, they’re sorely missing the opportunity to make a subtle point in exploring scenarios: a hypothetical @POTUS can also be referred to as she/her. @HillaryClinton @NikkiHaley @TeamPelosi @RepLizCheney
