Balance rarely comes from increasing efficiency. It usually involves reducing responsibilities.
The more priorities we have, the harder they are to juggle. It's better to do a few things well than be overwhelmed by many.
A key to avoiding burnout is deciding what doesn't matter.

Real time, actionable operative feedback is such a vital piece of surgical training but can be difficult to obtain. @md_desir & @UTSW_Surgery doing awesome work developing a virtual reality simulator for automated assessment & feedback #SurgEd #SAGES2023
Great #SAGES2023 presentation by @UMichSurgery’s @seanoneillmd on @MSQC_COHR’s Pay 4 Performance initiative to improve #hernia documentation & care across Michigan
1) ⬆️ data completeness via synoptic op note with 💰 incentive
2) Ongoing challenges w/ hernia size documentation
All of us on the @UMichSurgery clerkship team are so proud of our students who matched today! #MatchDay #GeneralSurgery @Gifty_Kwakye_MD @Jonathan_Finks @SaraScha14
Have only cried tears of joy (and relief) 5 times today so far. An appropriate day to wear this shirt for the first time too, especially if you’ve seen the viral Avengers video floating around
Shout out to my dad for gifting this 👕 to me
After claims 2 have done more for Black ppl than anyone except *maybe* Abe Lincoln, @realDonaldTrump sent positive wishes to Ghislaine Maxwell, who is charged w/trafficking underage girls, but refused to praise John Lewis bc he didn’t come to Trump’s inauguration #axiosinterview
To be clear, he sent well wishes to an accused sex trafficker in jail, but he couldn’t muster a positive thing to say about a recently passed Civil Rights icon. Sounds about right...

One of my most hated sayings of all time:
“Boys will be boys.”
Have we not realized that this is just a crappy & lazy excuse for unacceptable behavior?
Reminds me of 1 of my favorite sayings of all time:
“Excuses are like assholes - everyone has one and they all stink.”

Trump: I saved millions of lives by shutting things down
Also Trump: We are going to lose millions of lives if we don’t open things back up

On one hand, this is a huge step forward. On the other, it's about time! Excited to see how the @AmBdSurg builds this into a policy. Let me know if you want input for a recent grad (and mom of 2) 😉. Thank you @BuyskeJ for your work on this important issue!

Great read for #HockeyTwitter parents, players & fans, courtesy of my mom:
“If we’re using hockey to teach our kids Canadian values, we’re teaching them that Canada values the white & the hyper-masculine - and all deviation should be punished.”

Surgery interview, I was asked what I like to do in my free time?
Me: I like running, dancing, reading, boxing (not professionally just for the fun of punching a bag)...
I: oh you don’t do any women like activities? Like cooking, knitting??
I punch like a girl? 🤷♀️ good enough?
“You can see that the pay gap isn’t as much about being a woman as it is about being a mom.”

To steal another @HillaryClinton quote:
“The wage gap is not just a woman’s issue. It’s a family issue. Women have every right to be mothers without being penalized at work.”

So how about we work on changing those @AmBdSurg parental leave policies? Only 4 wks extra across 5 years or you have to make the time up at the end of residency? Tell me this doesn’t disproportionately affect female residents with children...
