Anesthesioloist: "What specialty are you interested in?" Me: "CT or trauma surg" *6 out of the 7 docs in the OR start laughing* "Riiiiiight," he says. Can't wait for the day when I no longer have to defend my aspirations to a room full of strangers.

Some of y’all are more afraid of seed oils, non-organic food, and carbs than you are of the actual shit happening in the U.S. right now. If your biggest fear is a bagel instead of injustice, cruelty, and systems failing real humans, your priorities are wildly off.

First slide about early tracheostomy in trauma shows quote from @EAST_TRAUMA guideline. Thx, @ebrodas. Nice summary of the topic about early trach. 7-10 days is probably the right window. Perfect intro to my upcoming talk about guidelines.

5. You don’t have to be old to be wise. You just have to listen. To your patients. To your team. To your mistakes. And maybe, sometimes… to the ones who’ve walked this path before you.

4. You will lose people. The first time, it breaks something. The tenth time, it bruises something. But if it ever stops hurting entirely, you’ve lost something else—your humanity. Guard it.
