This more pertinent heads-up to readers appears in the online article listings, but not in the print or PDF versions. It still doesn't mitigate the profound sense of deception and betrayal. NEJM has now sanctioned a very well written McK informercial for its AI consultancy

Dr. Tom O'Donnell: Staged endo treatment of #TAAA associated w/similar perioperative & LT complications to single stage treatments. However, 1st stage procedures associated w/significant morbidity & mortality, & 1/4 of patients never complete their repairs. #SCVS2023 @SCVS1969

In 1998, a small residency program in Colorado lost its accreditation. It wasn’t the kind of thing that you’d expect to change the course of academic medicine. And yet, it *almost* did. Earlier, I explained how the Match started. Now, I’ll tell you how it nearly collapsed. 🧵

As we countdown to Match Day, I want you to meet Dr. Kevin Jon Williams. For nearly 20 years, he fought for - and eventually won - a student-optimal matching algorithm. It’s one of the great stories of advocacy in Match history… and the NRMP refuses to acknowledge it. (a 🧵)

mayoclinicproceedings.org/ar… Marvelously illuminating @christinesinsky on the fundamental problem for patients and their clinicians - “health care has incr been conceptualized as... independent encounters (ie, transactions) that can be distributed nearly randomly among hc workers"

Dr. Priya Patel: 39% of #TEVAR patients demonstrate aortic regression at 1 year. 5-year rupture & reinterventions higher in patients w/aortic expansion or stable aorta. These patients may benefit from shorter interval follow-up to maintain graft integrity. #EVS2022 @VascularEVS

After 13 years, the training has finally come to an end. I couldn't have done it without the love and support of my family and friends. Next stop: moving down to New Jersey to do some aortic surgery with @VirendraPatelMD in NYC at Columbia University
