Happening now! #ASC2025 @BarqRuby presents findings from @HOPE_sci_lab highlighting significant lifetime costs associated with #opioid prescribing for preterm infants @ChildrensLA @KECKSchool_USC @AcademicSurgery @UnivSurg @henryleeneo @SusanHintzMD

Medical school will always be harder for those without family/personal wealth because (1) you have to pay for it and (2) there isn’t enough free time to work. We shouldn’t make it even harder by requiring outrageous research experience for residency which favors those with money to take time off.

Our work shows that in patients w/o severe head trauma that have flail chest, early surgical stabilization of rib fractures before post injury day3 is associated w/ significantly better outcomes as well as reduced hospital length of stay & ventilator days
