Nothing like doing a really punishing chole...like a really soul crushing one. Finally, you emerge victorious with the carcas of your vanquished foe held high and triumphant in an endocatch bag! ... to find 3 new chole consults waiting in the ED. #GenSurg #acutecaresurgery

Sooo ...@XcelEnergyCO is Denver U Hills power just going to keep flickering off every 10-15 min forever? Is there an explanation for your >2000 customers? An ETA on a fix? Will it hurt our appliances? .... ANYTHING?

Absolutely amazing #SAGES2024 learning with the @CUDeptSurg and @UCSF_EastBay crews. Thank you to all the conference planners and staff, it was unbelievably educational, applicable, inspiring and fun. Can't wait until #sages2025 !

Classic no win scenario #SAGES2024

I am not a better surgeon because I'm a mother. I am not a better mother because I'm a surgeon. I'm an adult human and I get to be two different things without having to justify myself. I get to want things bc I want them, and do things because I'm good at them or bc I want to.

This is why airline customers are always upset. Just communicate, please and thank you.

So @UnitedAirlines_ why would you board the plane when you've already clearly known for hours the bag system is down at @flySFO ?

I'm not sure if there is a better feeling than going back to your residency to see your friends, reconnect with mentors and give a talk on a topic that excites you. Thank you @UCSF_EastBay @GPVictorino @BarnardPalmerMD @emilymiraflor . #gensurg ❤️❤️❤️

Today, City Council approved the Fountain Card, a new municipal identification program to make it easier for residents without traditional forms of ID to access: ✅ libraries ✅ city services ✅ healthcare ✅ checking/savings accounts

New plan to address a serious and worsening problem. Movie producers have to pay a fine for every minute a movie goes over 2 hours. That way the only movies that have >2 hr run times are ones where the producer/director is very invested & every extra min is deemed critical.

I'd like the 2024 presidential debates to address the candidates' positions on 17 hr annual mandatory hospital training modules that require you to click a button at irregular, sub minute intervals.

🧵for new residents and students: Over the last year, I've done 9 threads on different suture materials. Included here are links to each of these. I'll leave this 'pinned' for now. They are: Prolene, silk, Vicryl, PDS, Ethibond, Nylon, Monocryl, Chromic, and barbed sutures.

8pm from video monitor 6yo "Mama, is Elsa from Arandel real?" Me, "No, she's pretend." 6yo to 3yo, "See, told you." #tonightsdelaytactic #frozen

Justice for Lane Kim. That is all.

OR locker room floor. New game, bloody bit or flaming hot Cheeto?

Currently my most prized possession...the rotating trophy for the last successful lap CBDE. #gensurg #someforsurgery #lcbde
