This is how ICG can help identify abnormal extra hepatic biliary anatomy (from our case last week). Accessory right hepatic draining into cystic duct. This was a routine lap cholecystectomy and #ICG saved us from #bileductinjury #precisionsurgery with #verdye image guidance
This needs to be discussed more and more. Hourly costs of a fully equipped and staffed operating room are circa €1500 to €2500 Efficient & effective use of available resources is very important @UPMCinIreland @RCSI_Irl
Surgeon factors and their association with operating room turnover time ➡️ doi.org/10.1093/bjs/zn… - Surgeons in leadership roles and with ≥10 years of experience have significantly shorter OR turnover times, enhancing efficiency - Leadership and experience likely streamline…

What kind of world do we live in where a @pittortho resident has to fundraise for her own cancer care because her contract/health insurance are being terminated???? Cc @WomenSurgeons @EquityDocs @AmBdSurg @AmCollSurgeons @AAOS1 @speakuportho @lisacannada gofundme.com/f/support-meli…

Consultants in independent private practice say they are facing unsustainable costs amid rising clinical negligence claims. Danielle Barron reports @MDCA_Ireland @MPS_Medical @DrJohnCurran @asam100 #indemnity #privatepractice medicalindependent.ie/in-the-news/ne…
This is a sector wide issue and requires urgent attention by all stake holders @MDCA_Ireland @IMO_IRL @IHCA_IE @PrivateHospsIrl
#levelindemnity clinical indemnity or malpractice insurance is rising at a nearly exponential rate. This is crippling independent medical practices and putting some out of business. 40% of @MDCA_Ireland members see more than 2000 patients/year @DonnellyStephen we need a plan!!
Another great service closer to home by @UPMCinIreland

A very important issue that threatens the viability of many consultant practices. Urgent solutions are needed for TORT reforms that are already in the pipeline like pre-trial protocols @MDCA_Ireland @IMO_IRL @IHCA_IE @MedisecIreland @IMT_latest @RCSI_Irl @MPSdoctorsIRE
Insurance costs are spiralling out of control and threaten the viability of many independent medical & dental practices. This has grave implications for Irelands healthcare system #levelindemnity businesspost.ie/analysis-opini…
These rising costs are on a steep curve and undesirable burden on already struggling & stretched system @DrJohnCurran @MDCA_Ireland @IMO @IHCA_IE @IMT_latest
The annual cost of medical negligence has exploded from €74million in 2010 to almost €360million in 2022 The human & financial cost of the clinical negligence claims system reveals a system that is not fit for purpose & has not been for some time extra.ie/2024/02/26/new…
Thanks @todowd to call it as it is in @IrishTimes. Please take a note @MDCA_Ireland, @IMO_IRL @ChairImo @IHCA_IE Medical negligence costs irishtimes.com/opinion/letter…
Probably quote of the decade and obvious solution proposed by @drconordeasy about perpetual over crowding of EDs in Ireland.
‘It’s not a good reflection on us as a society that we are continuously on the media asking patients to seek help in other places. Help should be available in the right places when the patients need us’ @drconordeasy on the moral distress of overcrowding irishtimes.com/health/2024/01…
