As a Bariatric Surgeon 6 months out from practice in a time of great upheaval, these #REVISION21 talks on adopting new techniques, billing, online patient-facing adjuncts, and even the historical transitions of the ASMBS could not be more timely.

While it may have happened out of order, I am now American Board of Surgery Board Certified in General Surgery. It took a village, seriously. A huge shout out to my Cleveland Clinic General Surgery Residency Program classmates who gleefully participated in randomly calling one another for unannounced mock orals.

The unknown particulars of this fatal case of gallstone pancreatitis not withstanding, it’s horrifying to think someone who needed non-COVID basic endoscopic and surgical care couldn’t receive it due to COVID overwhelmed tertiary centers. apple.news/AeiE3SdFdSRa_o…

Reasons surgery (me) needs pharmacy (my wife - Madeline Waldron, PharmD, BCOP). Surgery tries to give Motrin to a 3 month old, followed by making Augmentin non-absorbable by mixing it with milk. Moral? Surgery doesn’t read labels, we need pharmacy. 🥺

Waited by phone for 30 minutes this AM for a Peer to Peer while on vacation with family. No call or notification that call would not happen. Insurance company wants X-ray for rapidly growing soft tissue mass of lower extremity instead of CT. #annoyed
