    Unfortunately, miss Jackson we are for real. This "tree stand" was discovered on public land in McIntosh Co. by Warden Rowland. Not only is this EXTREMELY NOT SAFE, it is EXTREMELY NOT LEGAL. IT WAS HELD IN BY FOUR SMALL SCREWS. Y👏CAN'T👏Y'ALL👏FIND👏SOMETHING👏SAFE👏TO👏DO?
    A chair, like one you would find at a typical dinner table, is suspended in a tree on public land. There are no straps or other safety measures in place. However, there is a piece of wood zip-tied to the bottom. For safety? NO. For a foot rest.
    A zoomed-out perspective of the tree-chair shows how high up it is. This is how hunting accidents happen.

    #GetMePPE This is my one N95 mask. I have been instructed to preserve it for up to 30 days by covering it with regular surgical masks which are also on critical shortage. The supply chain should not have crumbled. Our patients deserve better! We deserve better!

    Please allow me, @BrooketheOstomy’s residency PD & trauma surgeon who is friends with a number of fellowship PD at many of the TOP programs in the country, to reassure that we HAVEN’T “talked” & this is such bs. 😡 she’s amazing & I’ll be writing an LOR to that effect #mamabear

    If you want to know why so few trainees have been publicly vocal about advocating for Palestine well here is my exhibit A. I made a post where I stated anything I make on the video (I get paid [barely but still] on TikTok) I will donate to @MSF and I get comments like this:

    Truly honored to be trusted with the helm of this tremendous program. Could not ask for a better leadership team and colleagues to work along side. Most importantly, @purplesurg residents are simply phenomenal. They make me excited to come to work and make us all proud every day!

    As a woman in physics, I was a rarity. Far more than I am as a woman in surgery. Thank you to all the men who made it clear that there was a place for me. May we one day soon have a world where a letter like this is no longer needed. #AllyshipInAction #WomenInSTEM 🥲

    Feel like we should add this paper to intern bootcamp. NEVER discount an experienced nurse’s spidey sense. ICU nurse says “I don’t think they should transfer out” then patient doesn’t transfer out.

    How to help fix gender gap: 1) get women on panels 2) call women on panels by their professional titles 3) female students see themselves in these respected women #HeForShe #EndTheManel #ILookLikeASurgeon @WomenSurgeons @AmCollSurgeons @AcademicSurgery
    Dr. Francis Collins said he would not participate in all-male panels any longer.

    Not sure if I’m more excited for @DissanaikeMD to be at @NMSurgery as visiting professor or that we are shoe twins courtesy of @WomenSurgeons #AWS2022 😋
