🧵regarding the important suturing concept of whether to use one bite to grab both ends of the tissue ('taking it in 1'), versus using two bites ('taking it in 2'). We will go over some technical pointers about each of these, especially as they pertain to Lembert sutures.

Had a leak recently and this was a very timely podcast to listen to. My mentors know how tough I take complications- big or small. They mark your soul to be honest. It’s always hard to climb out of that hole you are in after it happens. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/gut…

The best place to relax is near water. After just 2 minutes of viewing water outdoors, blood pressure and heart rate drop. It's more calming to look at a lake, pool, or stream than trees or grass. Beaches are popular for a reason. Wider bodies of water bring more tranquility.
