Today we’re returning the field hospital stationed at Century Link to @FEMA so it can be redeployed to a state with a more significant need. I’m proud that our diligence has saved lives across the state, and am even more proud that we can now help save lives across the country.

This is awesome- thanks Seattle Mariners! I plan to donate, how about you?

Impact of #COVID19 is effusive- it touches everything. Major concern: deluge of shoddy science in pre-print servers. MassGeneral Medicine FLARE collaborative- MGH physicians/scientists appraising literature and addressing controversial topics. thank you for this! massgeneral.org/news/coronavir…

How does this get through review? jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/… this is not 88% mortality. It may approach 50%, which is scary. But it’s not 88%. We all make mistakes but this requires declaration of error and revision.

I wrote out some thoughts on how to make this moment a real turning point to bring about real change––and pulled together some resources to help young activists sustain the momentum by channeling their energy into concrete action. medium.com/@BarackObama/h…

Perplexed by the national “news” depicting #Seattle as a burning anarchist wasteland. We’re fine. Protests have been safe & peaceful for days; worked in ED last night and wouldn’t have even known. Lots of well-meaning people working together to fight against racism & violence.

Thank a nurse today.

Congrats to Teresa Kim, MD of Fred Hutch, @SeattleCCA and UW Medicine on being elected to National Cancer Institute's 2022 Early-Stage Surgeon Scientist Program! The ESSP will support Kim in a program focused on cancer-related disease and basic/translational research. bit.ly/35D83yG

So proud to have trained with these talented gentlemen. Excited for what the future will bring!

What I thought being a great surgeon (or any professional) was all about at the start of residency but have since come to change my mind A thread 🧵🧵//

What a treat to have so many LA HPB surgeons in the same room today-great fellow debates, Cristina Ferrone schooling us on the role of XRT, #YuriGenyk sharing his arterial resection experience, Bradford Kim sharing prehab strategies Kevin Labadie

I keep giving bad news, but the patient and family are so grateful. What matters is not the content we deliver, but the way we deliver it.

Wonderful day in the ☀️w/ fantastic colleagues and friends. Impressive >$1,000,000 raised by LA PanCAN!!
