Here is some data to support an endo approach to those with popliteal artery aneurysms. In younger and those with minimal comorbid conditions. I prefer open repair. But a subset gets ENDO. I find those asking for “data” seldom contribute to the literature pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25862366/

frank arko The ASA Committee on Standards and Practice Parameters could amend the fasting guidelines and then the ASA House of Delegates would vote on it. Medicolegally, it’s risky to violate established fasting guidelines for elective cases. We get a lot more latitude for urgent cases

Happy 2nd Birthday granddaughter — my 2nd grandchild, but no less of a scene-stealer. You’ve got a tutu, a bow bigger than your head, and a smile that melts even the toughest hearts (mine included). 👴🏼💕 You’ve taught us that “two” is not just an age #TerribleTwosButIRaisedfather

Is it just me, or does it seem like so many people have become transactional in interactions? It’s sad… As a relational person, it’s not a great feeling dealing w purely transactional people, but relational is still the best way for the “long game”(I.e.-LIFE!)
