If the trauma/ACS division is taking all of the emergency general surgery workload, thus freeing your division up to spend its days cranking out preapproved high-RVU elective cases, you’d better not go on about how ACS isn’t pulling its financial weight for the department.

I had a couple of interns/juniors ask how I prepare for cases, so I shared my thoughts in a thread:
1. If you’re starting out, the most important thing is to identify what you’re treating and what the options are.
Ex) mid-shaft femur fracture can be treated with antegrade or retrograde IMN or a plate

Speaking from the ❤️ so proud @DrJtrauma
The sad reality is every-time there is a press conference for a mass shootinf I see one of my friends standing there pleading for help
“Just do something”
the family screams are real and the pleas for help are even worse. We got the medical side from here you take the policy!
