Residents: I cannot stress this enough… Your job is not to protect the attending Your job is to protect the patient Yes you should call the attending, yes you should wake them up. (By the way - if you protect the patient ➡️ you are protecting the attending) #MedTwitter #MedEd

Please read a little about the evidence-less opinions of Mr Lott. He must be removed by @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris We will not be able to make progress toward a real understanding of gun violence and it’s root causes without elimination of individuals like this in leadership
The discredited researcher has no business being near the Department of Justice. This should be swiftly rectified in January by @JoeBiden and his Attorney General. politico.com/news/2020/11/24…

How should #surgeryresidency address gender-related #implicitbias? Hemphill et al. @TempleSurgery tackle this important topic at sciencedirect.com/science/ar…! #surgtwitter #MedEd #SurgEd #WomenInMedicine

Replying to @ctcfip
Can’t imagine one person who would disagree. But passion for prevention is not mutually exclusive from celebrating the ‘wins’ for #StopTheBleed. The momentum in grassroots advocacy that has carried @StopTheBleed will hopefully power us to next #StopTheNeed #ThisIsOurLane

Shifting focus to the long term sequela of survivorship (for the injured and loved ones of the injured) is such a critical step in fully understanding this public health crisis. @TempleTrauma @PennTrauma let’s continue to broaden our understanding.
The lasting effects of firearm injury reach far beyond mortality and economic burden; early identification and initiation of long-term longitudinal care is paramount ja.ma/335eAuP @UPennTrauma @MarkSeamonMD

I support a red flag law in Pennsylvania. This law would provide a way to temporarily remove guns from people in crisis. Similar laws are already saving lives in other states. Join me in calling on legislators to get a red flag bill to my desk. penncapital-star.com/paforwa…

Come on Pennsylvania! Let’s work toward similar solutions and study the impact! We must do better. @jessicahbeard @TheScottCharles @AJGTempleSurg @AltenburgJuliet #PTSF2019
California will pay $3.85 million to researchers at UC Davis to develop the nation’s first program to train health care professionals to help their patients reduce firearm-related injury & death. Thank you for your leadership on this issue @GavinNewsom. sacbee.com/news/politics-gov…

This past weekend a balloon popped and the entire Boca Raton Mall panicked and ran for their lives. The mall filled with #Parkland Students thought there was an active shooter when there was none. Society has been crippled by this Public Health Crisis. #Enough #Thisisourlane

.@NRA has been abolished and congress just passed comprehensive common sense gun legislation @ThisIsOurLane @ctcfip
What would someone have to whisper in your ear for this to happen?

Ever wish there was a reverso M&M where your colleagues great decisions and outcomes are shared for education purposes? Maybe call it Saves & Survivals?

Yesterday marked 200 days since the House passed #HR8, my bipartisan bill to expand background checks. Since then, Leader McConnell has done nothing to help prevent gun violence and keep our communities safe. RT to tell him it’s time to #DoSomething.
