Dad, husband, professor, physician specializing in #anesthesiology, researcher, advocate for a better healthcare system. Posts=my views. No COI #ThisIsMyLane
False. As an anesthesiologist, I've been wearing a mask most days for 20 years. I haven't had either form of pneumonia from mask-wearing.
Disappointing to see this @premiumbusiness account spreading misinformation about #COVID19. #WearAMask#MasksSaveLives
As a physician, here is my "lane":
"I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.
I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings..."
-Hippocratic Oath #medtwitter@choo_ek@JosephSakran
Someone should tell self-important anti-gun doctors to stay in their lane. Half of the articles in Annals of Internal Medicine are pushing for gun control. Most upsetting, however, the medical community seems to have consulted NO ONE but themselves. nraila.org/articles/20181…
I saw a couple new interns rounding this morning and greeted them with "Good morning, Doctors."
It took them by surprise I think, but they smiled and stood up a little straighter.
When you see your new group of interns, please make them feel welcome and lift them up!
I'm excited to officially start my next career adventure:
Senior Vice Chair in the Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine at Stanford!
To all airway management personnel:
❗This is the post-normal era. There are NO MORE emergency intubations.
❗Proper donning of PPE takes time. SLOW = SAFE.
❗You are a precious resource. Do not risk getting exposed.
❗Start training your backups.

"Just an anesthesiologist" should be a rally cry for our specialty
I am proud to be a physician who specializes in anesthesiology. I am proud of my colleagues who provide critical care and pain medicine, who fight for patient safety, who don't seek the limelight.
Well this #AAPI, a Filipino-American 🇺🇲🇵🇭 and son of amazing immigrant parents, just became President-Elect of the California Society of Anesthesiologists 😊
I am humbled & inspired by the confidence @CSAHQ has shown me. So grateful to my family, mentors, sponsors and friends🙏🏽
I have some pretty nasty anonomyous CRNA accounts trolling me these days.
If you don't think I'm an authority on anesthesiology, that's fine. You don't have to follow me. You can also feel free to ignore my research articles, book chapters, and lectures on this topic.
I was called to be a physician.
I'm proud to be an #anesthesiologist.
4 yrs med school, 4 yrs residency, 1 yrs fellowship, 15 yrs in practice and I still LOVE IT!
This is why I won't stand by while AANA insults my profession.
