“What drives me a surgeon is having unrelenting focus in the OR, solid trust in my surgical team, and unwavering commitment to my patients and their families.” -Chigozirim Ekeke, MD, Thoracic Surgeon #WeAreUMichSurgery

Instead of seeking feedback on how you did, it’s more effective to seek advice on how you can do better.
@ProfJeffries Dr. @ProfJeffries , let's touch base soon! I sent you an email awhile back
@Oleoleg123 @PicturesFoIder Why slow chew is important? 1. Chewing breaks improves nutrient absorption by up to 15-20%. 2. Slower chewing allows brain to put a brake on overeating 3. Careful chewing reduces air swallowing by 40% --less burping, bloating, and skunk butt 4. Less likely to choke

@ElliotServaisMD @NateEvansMD @RajaFlores @LindaMThoracic @DoctorJSpicer @StephenVLiu @FordePatrick @SBroderickMD @BrendonStilesMD @jdoningtonmd @TomVargheseJr What was the impression of the tumor board regarding the surgical candidacy of this case? I am curious to know how one might "push the envelope" in this scenario.
@AlexaEsperanzaa cvs.com/photo/my-medic… Great way to store your medical reports/images (digitally)

My biggest advice to thoracic surg residents & fellows is to learn thoracic anatomy. I mean really learn it. Know it backwards, forwards, upside down. I mean - walk in the room & know what they’re dissecting in a millisecond glance type know it. @ThoracicStudent @TSRA_official
My biggest advice to anesthesia residents and CCM fellows is to learn physiology. Once you learn how to apply/optimize physiology, you can take care of any patient
@ElliotServaisMD @jgrif17 @AmJSurgery @SWexner @juliomayol @PipeCabreraV @Cirbosque @pferrada1 @NeilFlochMD @TomVargheseJr @drdevirgilio @DissanaikeMD @rbarbosa91 "Are we just prioritizing availability over focus on the OR?"....This is the real question, because the culture surrounding "availability" and what that means......has to be reformed (at all levels).
@ElliotServaisMD @AmJSurgery @SWexner @juliomayol @PipeCabreraV @Cirbosque @pferrada1 @NeilFlochMD @TomVargheseJr @drdevirgilio @DissanaikeMD @rbarbosa91 #facts
