Celebrating @Parkland's 127th birthday today! Thank you for giving us such a phenomenal place to learn and practice medicine
Parkland Health (@Parkland) profile pictureParkland Health@Parkland19 May 2021
127 years ago today, Parkland first opened in a group of framed buildings at the corner of Maple and Oak Lawn avenues. Medical technology and the size of our hospital has changed over the years, but our commitment to giving every patient the best possible care has deep roots.

1929 - Portuguese UROLOGIST, Dr. Reynaldo dos Santos, decides to stick a needle directly into the aorta and inject contrast for the world's first translumbar aortogram. Technique: Insert needle just below the 12th rib and 4 fingerbreadths to the left of the spinal process.

Watch this incredible video of a patient with venous thoracic outlet syndrome. Provocative testing shows right subclavian compression and compromised venous return—you can even see flow reversal refluxing up the neck! Courtesy: @paulgamboad #FOAMed
