Thrilled to have our trial published in @JAMASurgery
Drs. Josh Billings, Marcos Lopez & other VUMC co-investigators find that using high concentrations of oxygen during cardiac surgery increases oxidative stress compared to normoxia but does not affect organ injury. #cardiacanesthesia 🩺 Click here to read: ow.ly/O17w50SWPsV

Replying to @MarshaBlackburn
Since you are ready to assist, return the 1.3 million dollars to NRA and choose children’s safety over guns and your desire to be re-elected. Serve the people and not yourself. As a Tennessee citizen and doctor, we do not need assault weapons in this state or country

I have posted this before but .. 26 years ago, a gunman entered Dunblane Primary School in Scotland, killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK govt responded by enacting tight gun control legislation. In the 9400+ days since, there have been a total of O school shootings in the UK.
