- Though we’re told not to touch needle w/ forceps if you grasp needle near but not on tip, you can “pirouette” needle from forehand to backhand when sewing w/ Castro @karimbrohi @jmills1955 @kari_jerge @Dr_Bowser #MedStudentTwitter #VascularTwitter
00:00 - Sometimes you wish the 6-0 was loaded on Castro at a different angle, or even backhand, you don’t always need to reload with finger, practice this @SAGES_Updates @cirbosque @TomVargheseJr @SWexner @juliomayol @CelestinoGutirr
00:00 - Congratulations to my mentee @dgsom @C_GWilliamson who matched @MGHSurgery #Match2023 ! So proud! @WomenSurgeons @DissanaikeMD @SAGES_Updates @SWexner
- Here’s how I like to hold Castro, start w/ balancing on inside of middle finger/hand, then stabilize w/ thumb/index finger, needle motion created by finger movement (hand/wrist don’t move) @MISIRG1 @SAGES_Updates @traumaicurounds @CelestinoGutirr
00:00 - Congratulations to my mentee @_MicaelaTorres_ @dgsomucla @cdrewu who matched @MGHSurgery I’m so proud of you! @LatinoSurgery @minervies @TomVargheseJr Felicitaciones Micaela! @WomenSurgeons @Cirbosque @PipeCabreraV @MISIRG1 @SWexner
- Try this exercise w/ Castro +6-0 polypropylene;backhand/forehand reload w/ forceps on backhand ➡️needle pirouette; reload w/ push-pull on forehand (useful for horizontal mattress) @jmills1955 @SAGES_Updates #MedTwitter #VascularTwitter #surged #MedStudentTwitter
00:00 - Great having @StephCohenMD illustrate our new #absite edition + many collaborators @UCIrvineSurgery @HarborUCLASurg @UCLASurgeryRes @PipeCabreraV @DissanaikeMD @SAGES_Updates @TomVargheseJr @SWexner @Cirbosque
- If you practice something 10,000 times the wrong way, without feedback, you’ll become an expert at poor technique, that’s why we all need coaches and teachers #MedStudentTwitter #MedTwitter #surged @mcwhmd @K_DickinsonMD @JenniferLaFemi1 @cdauphinemd @minervies
- A more economical way to go from forehand to backhand (no finger load) “the pirouetting needle” #MedTwitter #MedStudentTwitter
00:00 - As new MS3 & interns begin, remind yourself of how you felt at that time, how daunting and petrifying it was, and remember that part of our Hippocratic Oath is to teach the art to others: teaching brings joy to both student and instructor #surged #MedTwitter #medicine #Teachers
- A true surgical legend, Dr DeBakey was the son of Lebanese immigrants
- Do surgeons perform better while listening to music? Does the type of music matter? @SAGES_Updates @juliomayol @SWexner @brianchiong @AtulGroverMD @CelestinoGutirr @DrYetasook @cirbosque @jnahmias1 @elliotthaut sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
- Fun surgeon’s knot (going slow) though probably wouldn’t use as beginner:cross sutures, L hand uses index finger to loop suture away, R hand palm up, use middle finger to loop suture towards @MISIRG1 @SAGES_Updates @RKleinWoundDoc @RedMDND
