As a non-proceduralist, I believe COVID had negative impacts on my training. It seems plausible that OR shutdowns affected surgical residents’ education 🤷🏼♂️ Would be nice to see discussion, research, and preparation rather than such a defensive stand.
I hope this new “wave” of COVID that is being slowly introduced does not lead to repeat OR shutdowns, decreased number of cases and everything else we experienced back in 2020-1. It will be the final blow to the training of an already poorly trained batch of residents.

My attending told us he just signed up for driving lessons. I’ve never felt so far away from the Midwest.

Buying things to furnish a 1-BR for yourself is expensive. No wonder people get married.

Just rode triple on an elderly Thai man’s scooter with @jespeman and both of our backpacks to catch a ✈️ in time.

An 8 bed hostel room seems like the kind of place where you should get over your habit of hitting snooze.

The kids listening to techno on the porch of their bungalow at 830 pm are now making out in the same spot at 630 am. I feel very old.

Realized I wasn’t very current on my malarial treatment regimens so I’m sleeping outside in a hammock for the 3rd time this trip.

Taking an overnight bus and skipping sleep is not the best way to deal with jet lag. Who would’ve guessed 🤷🏼♂️

Leave it to SD to introduce an anti-abortion bill so obviously dumb that “SD Right to Life” and a 70-year old Catholic nun testify against it.

Professional poker player Liv Boeree thinks we can use Bayes’ theorem to answer a big question of our age: What is real, and what should we believe?
