We are devastated by the passing of one of our own, @ErfanFarid. Erfan was a kind, hardworking, and beloved member of the @RASACS @AmCollSurgeons family; his legacy will live on in his family, friends, @DownstateSurg community, and patients he cared for #RASfamily

This is an awesome technique! Have you ever tried one-handed suturing? Let us know in the replies 👇
Simple things surg regs should practice #1. One-handed suturing. This has come in super handy for me in tricky situations when one hand is either retracting something, plugging a hole in a blood vx or just holding the thread. 1/5
