Well, folks, @LotakisMD completed her last call as a surgical trainee. This was after the first 3 fellow lap chole in program history. It’s been a pleasure to work with her over the last 2 years! @CMPedSurg here she comes. @IU_Surgery @UMichPedsSurg

Great presentation by Dr. Michael Sobolic on a multi-center study of pediatric patients on VV ECMO using the Crescent RA cannula. Cardiovascular injuries were rare but often linked to cannula migration—highlighting the need for precise placement. #APSA2025 #ECMO @APSASurgeons

Incredible work from the ENRICH-US team led by Dr @mehulvraval ! Their national, multicenter trial shows that implementing more elements of pediatric enhanced recovery protocols significantly shortens LOS, reduces opioid use, and improves outcomes. #APSA2025 @APSASurgeons

Don’t look away. Read these messages. Think about what our collective inaction is doing to America’s children. It doesn’t have to be a “fact of life.” States with the strongest gun laws have fewer mass shootings. YOU can make change. #vote #CommonSenseGunLaws #HarrisWalz2024
These are text messages, exactly as they were written and sent, between a mother and her two daughters during yesterday’s shooting at Apalachee High School. The family shared the texts with The Washington Post. Both daughters were unharmed and now safe.

@LotakisMD attended her first fellow lecture at @RileyChildrens - a stirring intro to #TPN ordering. Leave it to @BenjaminTManyMD to bring the forks.
