If I hear, “I trust my immune system!” …one more time. 🤬 !!! The Delta variant is twice as contagious and doesn’t give a shit about your immune system.
So proud

1. Always, always go see the patient.
2. Take every consult as the opportunity to participate in the care of another human. It’s a privilege. Act that way.
3. As a surgeon you are asked help patients in their darkest moments. Own it, be accountable, and always follow through.

Explanations on why complications occur during M and M: 1)Transplant- Patient was on steroids. 2) Surg Onc- patient had pre-op chemo/ XRT or Avastin 3) Trauma- It was a heroic effort. 4) ACS- patient was on the medical service for a week before we got consulted. What else?

Dr. Princess Dennar, was the first and only Black woman at @Tulane to hold the role of program director.
She was recently fired because administrators were scared white medical students wouldn’t follow or rank favorably a program with a black program director #DNRTulane

Happy Cinco de Mayo Mr. President! Thanks for the shout-out - now get back to work royally fucking everything up!
Wow! Congratulations to Greg Gutfeld, a one time Trump Hater who has come all the way home. His Ratings easily beat no talent Stephen Colbert, nice guy Jimmy Fallon, and wacko “last placer” Jimmy Kimmel. Greg built his show from scratch, and did a great job in doing so. @FoxNews

Dr. Sara Rasmussen (@phoenixlaughter) is a peds surgeon and our @UVASurgery #healthcarehero this week! Dr. R sewed Halyard H600 medical fabric into masks for the on-call team. Thank you, Dr. R!
Note: researchers @UFHealth designed these masks that pass the respirator fit test.

I am amazed to see - sadly hardly surprised - to see several so-called top ranked institutions (you guess) continuing elective surgery (ortho/bariatrics) and screening mammography. Irresponsible and immoral and will cost lives. #COVID2019 #lockdown #itsnotalwaysaboutmoney

You wasted precious months when you could've taken action to protect Americans & Illinoisans.
You should be leading a national response instead of throwing tantrums from the back seat.
Where were the tests when we needed them?
Where's the PPE?
Get off Twitter & do your job.
.@JBPritzker, Governor of Illinois, and a very small group of certain other Governors, together with Fake News @CNN & Concast (MSDNC), shouldn’t be blaming the Federal Government for their own shortcomings. We are there to back you up should you fail, and always will be!
