Our hospital is now in DISASTER MODE due to *unvaccinated* #COVID19 patients FLOODING OUR ICUs At this point I have more sympathy for smokers that get lung cancer, than non-vaxxers who get COVID ‼️ GET VAXxEd! YOU’RE SUCKING UP ALL OF OUR RESOURCES … AND YOU’RE DYING ‼️

Austrian surgeon and anatomist Carl Toldt (1840-1920) described a ‘white line’ which separates the mesocolon from the retroperitoneum. The “white line of Toldt” has become an important landmark in colon resections, as opening it allows for the colon to be mobilized.
