What a fantastic conference! Thanks for inviting me! @UCSFSurgery @UCSFHospitals
Then inimitable @FiedlerAmy reminding us that cardiac surgeons have feelings too! 😂 And educating us on when to call the surgeon and consider a return to the OR in the middle of the night. Communication is key! @UCSFHospitals #critcarecards25 @SocietyOfCCC

🎥 LTTF mentor @sgworrell highlights how the STS Looking to the Future Scholarship can be especially valuable for residents and medical students who don’t always have access to mentors. It’s a unique chance to network, build connections, and meet leaders in the specialty. Apply

Does the relationship between the surgeon and anesthesiologist matter? Spoiler alert - YES, yes it does. It matters in sports, aviation…. Why would it not matter in the OR? @JAMA_current
