Farewell. I’m X’ing X. After years of posting in the good old days of #MedTwitter and a couple more years of passive lurking. I’m out. Follow along on my new endeavor. open.substack.com/pub/triali…

We are saddened to learn of the passing of Bob Uecker, a legendary ambassador for our game. After a six-year playing career with the Braves, Cardinals and Phillies from 1962-67, Uecker spent more than half a century as “Voice of the Brewers” beginning in 1971. Uecker’s self-deprecating humor endeared him to a national audience. He appeared in popular movies, commercials, talk shows, and even starred in his own TV sitcom. As a broadcaster, he worked national telecasts, All-Star Games, and the World Series. His dry style and wit belied a deep knowledge and passion for baseball, all of which made him one of the game’s finest broadcasters. Uecker, a member of the 1964 World Series champion Cardinals, was the 2003 Ford C. Frick Award winner and a five-time Wisconsin Sportscaster of the Year. He was 90 years old.

Hot off the press! @umichmedicine, and therefore @UMichGIHep is no longer submitting to @usnews rankings. THANK YOU - for all that is decent. @DrDrAbhishekS your voice has been heard.

Dominos are falling. How soon until these meaningless rank lists are obsolete/abandoned? dukechronicle.com/article/20…

Credit goes to @nauzerforbes. This is his brainchild.

First tweet in ages... Reminder that posting procedure details with an identifiable date (e.g. "look at that I did today") is a #HIPAA violation as it links treatment, date, and location, which are all PHI. Seeing a lot of that recently on #GITwitter

The end of game reaction from the @DeerDistrict!! 🔊

Very excited about this paper after a rough start! Grant application to @ASGE for this project was not funded. Abstract to #DDW2020 was rejected. Updated abstract was oral presentation @DDWMeeting 2021. #persistencepaysoff @LeifSaager @ZachSmithGI @JohnVargoMD

Thrilled to coauthor a publication with the amazingly talented @LCCummingsMD (and our other all-star collaborators) on choice of anesthetic technique for ERCP. giejournal.org/article/S0016…

Proud alumnus of one of the premiere endoscopy programs in the US. The track record speaks for itself. Must also mention non-Twitter alumni (some big hitters): Sachin Wani, Greg Cote, John Maple, Neil Gupta, Larissa Fujii-Lau, Eileen Janec, Jeff Easler, Stephen Hasak....

Great stuff & a much needed addition to the literature. Well done!
