Day in the Life: Dr. Jeff Choi, PGY5 on the Colorectal Surgery service Stanford Health Care #surgerydayinthelife Jeff Choi 최재영

06:35 Sleep is fundamental to recovery, so we do our best to maximize uninterrupted sleep for patients in the mornings #surgerydayinthelife

I’ve already reviewed the patients’ charts before I get in, but rounding gives the junior residents (like Intern Serena Bidwell) and med students an opportunity to think through a case. #surgerydayinthelife

Updating the attendings on our patients via text while we head to the OR. #surgerydayinthelife

Going over the case—a robotic abdominoperineal resection (APR)—with Aaron Dawes #surgerydayinthelife

08:30 Explaining how to insert trocars to Serena Bidwell. The music selection depends on the operation and the energy. Aaron Dawes chose a playlist based on AC/DC’s “Back in Black” for this case. #surgerydayinthelife

The robot is in position. Shoes off! Let’s begin 🤖 #surgerydayinthelife

I may be Canadian, but I’ve lived in California too long! ❄️ #surgerydayinthelife

13:17 Robot portion complete; let’s remove these trocars and finish the colostomy. #surgerydayinthelife

Waiting for your patient to wake up from anesthesia = teachable moment #surgerydayinthelife

14:23 Beckman burrito for a late lunch! 🌯 #surgerydayinthelife

The Chief On-Call Room is a perk of PGY5 year. I always take notes about what I learned during a case. #surgerydayinthelife

15:14 Let’s go find our next patient. #surgerydayinthelife

Laparoscopic right colectomy with Andrew Shelton #surgerydayinthelife

Wrapping up the day with some research! To keep projects moving forward, it's important to prioritize research and block off time daily. Most residents remain actively involved in research after professional development time. #surgerydayinthelife

Congratulations to Drs. Erin (U Chicago) and Jeff Choi 최재영 (Stanford) for outstanding Surgical Critical Care match results!
