Unfortunately, miss Jackson we are for real. This "tree stand" was discovered on public land in McIntosh Co. by Warden Rowland. Not only is this EXTREMELY NOT SAFE, it is EXTREMELY NOT LEGAL.
IT WAS HELD IN BY FOUR SMALL SCREWS.

This is my one N95 mask. I have been instructed to preserve it for up to 30 days by covering it with regular surgical masks which are also on critical shortage. The supply chain should not have crumbled. Our patients deserve better! We deserve better!

As a woman in physics, I was a rarity. Far more than I am as a woman in surgery. Thank you to all the men who made it clear that there was a place for me. May we one day soon have a world where a letter like this is no longer needed.

Feel like we should add this paper to intern bootcamp. NEVER discount an experienced nurse’s spidey sense. ICU nurse says “I don’t think they should transfer out” then patient doesn’t transfer out.
Beyond humbled to be the new vice chair of this tremendous committee. The injury prevention work product is truly amazing and passion for the mission.
@acsTrauma
My advice to trainees: talk to people at conferences - even when your introvert brain (like mine) doesn’t want to. Never know when you’ll find dear friends

Advice for all surgery residents - look at all your own images!! Hone this skill and when you don’t see what rads sees, go over it with them!
On trauma, if rads calls with a life threatening dx and you’re not already fixing it, you’re behind. Read your films in real time!

allies (Dr Kim being one) were offended by your post independent his response.
When I came home postcall after making this and went through my decon routine, my 7 year old ran toward me, stopped midstep, and said “wait... mom? Can I hug you now?” He had real fear in his eyes.
Kids should not have to fear contact with their parents.

My usual view vs my view coming in this morning. I don’t care who you are or what you did, when you come through these doors, I will move heaven and earth to try to save your life. The hospital should be hallowed ground. Don’t bring your shit into our house.
Amazing to here a renowned surgical oncologist say that addressing the social determinants of health is essential to impact the disparities in violence. This issue impacts the entire house of medicine. Thank you

It is a core part of every surgery rotation! Read all our own films before looking at the radiology report, then correlate. Read with your radiologists if you don’t see what they see. I can’t find everything, but I can find anything that is imminently life threatening!
