🧵OK, I'm doing a talk next week to a group that won't have any idea why I'm there, so I'm going to repost some of my older 🧵
This one is on the 'figure-of eight' and also the 'pursestring' sutures.
We'll go over what they're for and some technical pointers and pitfalls.

Some thoughts on burnout: 🧵
A part of burnout in medicine, especially in academia, is that people are carrying around with them an enormous number of thoughts and frustrations that just sit there and fester in their minds, and they see no safe outlet for expressing them.

It’s strange that we ask trainees to read clinical trials but never really teach them how to read clinical trials.
I’d request all training program directors and mentors to please share this article to their trainees and fellows- ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/OP-…
Grateful to @JCOOP_ASCO for making this free.

A MUST-READ!
This is probably one of my most important papers where I try to teach how to fish rather than offer fish.

Thank you @JCOOP_ASCO @EthicsdoctorP for the kind invitation. I hope the readers will find this useful.

You are replaceable at work, but you are NOT replaceable at home. A beautiful and poignant reflection that applies to all clinicians.

I’ve been obsessed with the @NEJM CPCs since I was in grad school. Now, with @tabuckley_, it’s surreal to see @NEJM publish the first AI differential diagnosis in the 100+ year history of the series, generated by our AI system Dr. CaBot, alongside the human expert’s.

(1/9) Its July and medical trainees are starting their medical school residency or fellowship.
Here is my advice for any ICU fellows starting out to avoid making some of the same mistakes that I've made in the past.

ICU Hemodynamics Secrets:
Did you ever manage a patient when the upper arm was inaccessible for noninvasive oscillometric measurements of blood pressure (BP), & the cuff was placed on the lower leg?

Use anything that is available in immediate reach to infer the clinical data point needed -- even when POCUS is not available or out of commission. Anything.
