Being a surgeon is a privilege—but it comes with hidden costs. Beyond burnout, surgeons face daily occupational hazards that accumulate over a career. Our review highlights the unseen alligators of the OR and why surgeon safety matters. #Safety sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

A surreal moment getting to read Gillies’ original text on foundational plastic surgery principles at the @MayoClinic historic library. Incredible to see how many concepts we still rely on today were born here in this book—true surgical history in your hands. #PlasticSurgery

X-rays tell the story—only if the view is true. A ~10° lateral tilt can make all the difference when assessing the radiocarpal joint. #HandSurgery #AlwaysLearning Helpful additional read: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Lateral Radiography of the Wrist A–B: Standard lateral view and radiograph. C–D: 10° lateral positioning and radiograph, providing clearer visualisation of the scaphoid and lunate facets’ articular surfaces

Revisiting a study where researchers followed a group of veterans experiencing homelessness who were overdue for colorectal or breast cancer screening. Within two years, roughly half secured stable housing. 🔗annfammed.org/content/23/4/3… Screening rates were then compared between veterans who obtained housing and those who remained homeless, finding that veterans experiencing homelessness who gained housing were more likely to get cancer screenings.

Science doesn’t need to go according to plan; it just needs to lead to a discovery. If doesn’t have to be done alone or together with a buddy; there just needs to be a discovery. It doesn’t need to happen fast or slow; just as long as there’s a discovery, then everybody is happy.

Current & ongoing studies of discharge care transitions for a patient after surgery should consider pain control; wounds, ostomies, tubes, and drains; and impact of challenging social situations and interdisciplinary team coordination on discharge success. ja.ma/3T6YzBB
