…bleets (if that’s what we’re calling posts) will be slow while my fingers continue to defrost. 🥶 Not feeling very thankful for this weather, but on a positive note, this has forced me to put the Xmas tree up much earlier this year. 🎄

I’ve reached the “it’s so cold I want to cry, but if I cry my tears will freeze” stage of winter.

And just like that, my thoracic surgery rotation is done! 🫁 I’ve garnered such an appreciation for being above the diaphragm (but can’t lie, super thrilled to be below it again). Chief year is flying! #7moCountdown

Can any #SurgSky or #MedSky peeps share their best methods for compiling intraop notes? Currently a Notes user, but wondering if there’s a better platform to store instrument/technical preferences/drawings. #SurgEdSky #MedEdSky
