A room full of nurses and APPs at the BCAN Think Tank = a full heart for me. Thrilled to continue to watch this group grow every year. We’ve come a long way in incorporating the critical and unique perspectives of these clinicians at the Think Tank #BCANTT24 🧡

I just left an ER shift, and it hit me. Healthcare providers will be respected for tirelessly working to save lives, not accused of falsifying diagnoses or profiteering off a horrible pandemic. We will have a partner working with us, not against us. It already feels so good.

Zhan Wu, one of our PGY-1s, getting some amazing hands-on experience on his general surgery rotation!! 👏🏽
Got on the console for a robotic inguinal hernia repair on rotation with @GeisingerSurgEd. The controls are so intuitive. It was just as awesome as I dreamed it would be! @GeisUrolRes @Uro_Res @Uro_Stream #UroSoMe #MedTwitter #uromatch

I’m not sure this needs clarifying, but in medicine, diagnosing just ~10% of any disease is pretty damn bad. Kinda surprising how quickly we went from being ‘too good at testing’ a few days ago to demonstrating how bad we’ve actually been at it.

📣#CPPS PSA📣⁣ The majority of young men diagnosed with #prostatitis do NOT have a prostate infection. They do have urinary urgency/frequency/pain, post-ejaculatory pain, perineal pain and/or penile pain. ⁣Over 95% of men with these symptoms have #pelvicfloordysfunction.
