Amazing excitement among neurosurgical leadership and community in response to @SebastienBubeck ‘s talk on AGI in medicine at #digitalnsgy ! We will be defined by our interactions with systems that reason over web scale knowledge in response to multimodal input (and output).

As a new attending neurosurgeon I think about how to get better All. The. Time. We (surgeons, proceduralists) MUST learn from other fields And never be satisfied Ana Vidovic teaches us about deliberate practice (which is NOT possible in the OR).

There were more than 7 shootings in Houston yesterday. @abc13houston I remember every child I’ve cared for. Again, last night we had to answer that call. If you want to call us “heroes”, then listen to us: #GunViolence is a #PublicHealth problem. #thisisourlane

Grateful for the opportunities to train with #Orthopedics , #Craniofacial and other #PedSurg folk (especially those not trained in the US). It’s a pleasure to share techniques and learn new tricks (old to others). Surgeons should break out of our silos and learn together...

Congratulations to @AjhungMD and co for a fantastic session at Society for Robotic Surgery. It’s an honor to be invited to places I don’t belong - my learning rate was insane. Fantastic keynote from @TGrantcharovMD @surgicalsafety And great lectures from all the faculty

Wow. Not a lot of places could handle a mass casualty event, run 4 OR for almost 24 hours, including several great trauma saves, and do it all without regard for our patients’ ability to pay, nationality or background. Very grateful to our team and staff.

Well there’s one less epidural hematoma in the world. Thanks to all the folks who help us deliver these outcomes- it takes a team to get a child into the OR and many of our colleagues never get to see the whole picture. Grateful to do some good tonight.

Congratulations and a warm welcome to all #MedTwitter entering #MatchDay2021 particularly those aiming at #Neurosurgery . However the week finishes, I hope that you make your match worthy of being your choice. That’s a secret I’m still learning. Now it’s yours. Congrats!🍾 🥂🤩

Lots of excitement next week for #MatchDay .... For some people- you may not get your first choice, or (like me) you may not match at all. The thread below is a reminder, “it’s now where you start, but where you finish...” Chin up no matter the outcome. You’re in good company...

Instead of the usual #MedEd #MedTwitter Saturday thread, please accept the following message. We support human rights. Humans have the right to bodily autonomy. Health care decisions should be made by patients in consultation with medical professionals.

Is it weird that JNS Focus is my favorite journal these days? Quick turn around, thematic issues ensure you submit relevant work, open access, and I enjoy reading the whole thing. And you stay connected to a tradition: Dr. Weiss, Dr. Jane Sr. & other greats. 🙏🙏🙏

Neurosurgeons don’t get to hear from the broader robotics companies very often. Today we brought leadership from @IntuitiveSurg to teach us about their best practices within robotic surgery performance assessment. Very excited to see what we can develop together in neurosurgery.
