How long is medical training? I asked our new EP where he went to college. He said Davidson. The Steph Curry Davidson? "Yeah I was 1 year behind him." So in the time it took for my colleague to get his FIRST JOB, Curry has 4 titles, 2 MVPs and the most 3-pointers in NBA history.

I've come to brag a bit today about my wife. She's not on Twitter and so can't get mad at me for posting this. When we met, she was a cardiology floor nurse and I was a resident. She was smart, funny, interesting, stubborn, witty, lovely, and she was a great nurse. 1/x

So now this daughter of a hard-charging refuge worked her way up from the bottom. She has overcome insidious doubt. Hard work and dedication and passion have won the day. She is the kind of person we would all want as our doctor. I could not be more proud of her. 10/10

Just over 4 yrs ago, The Wife found out she was going to be a doctor. Her path led her to love vascular surgery, which, of course, has about a 55% match rate. 😬 Today, she found out she's going to be a vascular surgeon. Couldn't be more proud. More to come... 🤞 #Match2023

Medical community: All that data about hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin is anecdotal. We need a rigorous randomized trial. Also medical community: Proning seems to work.

People still getting mad at PCI. For me, it's pretty simple. If no angina, don't stent. If angina real & lesion low risk of complication, ⬇️threshold to stent. If angina real and lesion high risk of complication, ⬆️meds. 1/x

Ok #Cardiotwitter, next month I'm going on a medical mission trip with @Cardio_Start to Nigeria to help set up a PCI program. Would love a RT so we could get @BSCCardiology, @AbbottCardio, @MDT_Cardiac, @AIU_Medical, @cordis, @terumoisuk and other manufacturers to donate supplies

The intern on service worked in Sri Lanka as the sole doc in a hospital during the civil war without any access to labs or imaging delivering babies, treating cobra bites and performing surgery with ketamine only, so yeah the papers I wrote during residency are REALLY impressive.

Just heard they're recalling 6F Langston dual lumen pigtails because when you power inject through it, the back end can pop off. IMHO if you're trying to power inject through a 3F catheter, YOU should probably be recalled.

Start of a new chapter for me this week. Really excited to be joining @DukeCardiology and @DCRINews. Busy first day in the lab. Looking forward to many more ahead. Onward.

When I was an intern, I sat down with @CMichaelGibson in a consult room outside the cath lab and told him how much I wanted to get involved in cardiology research. I was probably the 1,986th intern to do so in his career, but he treated me as if I was the 1st. #EternallyGrateful

Best part about telehealth is when your patient answers the videochat with a cigarette in his mouth.
