Daily Systemwide Covid-19 Update January 28, 2021 People are considered fully vaccinated 2 weeks after their second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccines, or 2 weeks after the single-dose Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen COVID-19 vaccine.

One of the clearest signs of learning is rethinking your assumptions and revising your opinions. 21 things I rethought in 2021: a thread...

Seems like a good time to revisit these “rules”. I jotted them down after reading General Powell’s book “My American Journey” years ago. #ColinPowell

Great work showing how important that cooperation between vascular surgery and podiatry is. Proud to have trained @UofAZSurgery @VascularAz and always looking to replicate that cohesive team for #limbsalvage.

Does leg amputation have a lower cost than revascularization + limb salvage? Depends on your perspective -- esp. perspective of your costing methodology. Those focusing on the initial hospitalization don't see the higher long-term costs of amputation. https://t.co/W4vKuYhSgB

A plea: don’t stent across the profunda when there are other options. There is a patient on the other end of your procedure who will suffer badly when it fails. This is after resection and EIA-PFA interposition, and immediately before fem-pop vein graft.

I think these findings are very interesting given the prevalence of #Afib in our patient population. Is it much of a stretch to consider these results in patients with stable #PAD more than 1 year after treatment? Thoughts? @jmills1955 @NealBarshes https://t.co/HELGkxRd8m

For National PAD Awareness Month Dr. Zachary Pallister and Dr. Brian Lepow @thetoedoctor name 5 things that put you at greater risk for PAD. 1. Diabetes 2. Obesity 3. High Blood pressure 4. Family history of PAD 5. Smoking @jmills1955 @DrRosengart

“A hero is someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom.” Sir Nicholas Winton rescued 669 children from the holocaust. Some of the survivors surprised him 50 years later.

That's a nice visual analogy for what happens when you don't think through a case start to finish. Moving the log 3 feet changes everything. #planning #consequences

It is what I’ve worked to protect and defend every day since I took my first oath in 2006. It’s what our country was founded on. It’s the greatest collection of ideas this world has ever known. It’s the best governing experiment to exist. #ConstitutionDay #WeThePeople
