🩸 @CedarsSinai urologist @MichaelAhdootMD, and colleagues have developed a multi-specialty realistic silicone surgical model that re-creates a functional circulatory system inside an artificial abdomen. By simulating arterial injuries and severe blood loss, the platform gives physicians a controlled environment in which to practice recognizing and managing rare but potentially lethal surgical emergencies. The model adds to a growing range of synthetic simulation tools that could accelerate the transition away from live animals in technical and nontechnical surgical training. Congratulations to Dr. Ahdoot and the Cedars-Sinai team on this innovative contribution to surgical education. ✏️ @vpelham🔗 cedars-sinai.org/stories-and…

“Why should I care about history / literature / philosophy / art” is so boring. Just being alive is a remarkable thing, and demands all our curiosity and commitment. Love learning. Love your neighbor. Shun cynicism and embrace fascination. It’s all beautiful and it all matters.
