As pediatric trauma care providers, our thoughts are with the families of the children and teachers who were killed yesterday in Uvalde, Texas, and our colleagues responding to this tragedy. Change is necessary. Read the full statement here: pediatrictraumasociety.org/

RCT comparing 14Fr pigtail vs large chest tube for traumatic hemothorax. Pigtail equally effective and better tolerated. If pigtail big enough for adults, presumably big enough for #pediatrictrauma too. 🤔 #some4pedsurg @PediTraumaSoc @EAST_TRAUMA journals.lww.com/jtrauma/Abs…

Exactly what this nation needs!!
To the American people—no matter who you voted for—I will strive to be a Vice President like @JoeBiden was to President @BarackObama: loyal, honest, and prepared, waking up every day thinking of you and your families.

Why has the United States handled this pandemic so badly? The Editors note that although we came into this crisis with enormous advantages, our current political leaders have demonstrated that they are dangerously incompetent.

To all the physicians who follow me - can we amplify this?
I do not understand the reluctance to use the federal Defense Production Act to manufacture ventilators. If not now, when?

I remember this episode so well and the one after that. It was so sad to see that character pass away but this is why there is no show that stands the light to this show and I recommend to all students/residents.

This #HispanicHeritageMonth, AWS would like to recognize Latina attendings, residents and medical students as they pave the way to increasing diversity in surgery. In the year of 2016 only 6.2% of medical graduates were Latinx, of which a small proportion were future surgeons 1/2
