Refreshing to see @AmerUrological give a voice to the topic of Surgical Ergonomics at #AUA24 / #AUANews To optimally care for others, we must also learn to care for ourselves @SocSurgErgo @chrouserMD https://t.co/bV3sa6l9Y9

This is great! We @SocSurgErgo should consider making a consensus statement on content/duration of an ergonomics timeout for each surg approach w/ input from surgeons/human factors experts @jennyshaomd @HalletJulie @Hamid_Norasi @dramypark @TaraCohenPhD @chrouserMD @GeetaLalMD

5 yrs ago, I sat in Dr. Joel Howell's @UM_IHPI @ncspMICHIGAN seminar on Sims & VVF. I was disgusted and incredulous about Sims' claims of 'success'. Joel mentored me & @shene11e to develop this hypothesis & explore primary sources. @NeurourolUrodyn
