- Urology Did You Know❓: The term priapism—a medical condition involving a persistent, often painful erection—derives from Priapus, the Greco-Roman god of fertility. Here’s a picture of Priapus, and his oversized erection, taken by me in a recent visit to the ruins of Pompeii:

- Missing Urology a little extra today! Currently have several weeks before my last away begins. You don’t realize how much you love something until you’re away from it for an extended period of time. #UroSoMe
- Grateful to have learned from both Dr. Sterling and Dr. Zhao this year — two giants in their subspecialty and two individuals incredibly dedicated to teaching. Perhaps they inspired me to pursue recon? 🤔 Time will tell! 🕰️#IFRUU2024 Day 3 Session 11: Experts in Robotic Reconstructive Urology at IFRUU Ureterolysis @jsterling15 Ileal Ureter @ZLeeGU Robotic Fistula repair @divyaajay_uro Minimize Robotic Complications @lee_c_zhao @NYUUrology @UrologyMSK @NM_Urology @Yale_Urology
