Does lengthening rate actually matter in terms of 'total recovery time needed'?

This is why our director at UCSF Neurosurgery makes claims strongly implying that non-neurosurgeons are not physicians. Not that I agree. But publication at peer reviewed / reputable journals is quote obviously non-trivial and indeed a way to evaluate the pearls of technique of a given physician. The better the technical expertise of the surgeon, the better patient outcomes will be. Evaluating a given case is a good way to learn more about the pearls of ones technique. Do you feel comfortable posting a link to what it is you've published? I realize you may not want to dox yourself. But some people at this forum are indeed with some of my recent works (bodybuilder et al). These aren't baseless claims.

A surgeon’s technical skill ultimately determines patient outcomes (no clinician at this website would disagree with this). Interpersonal skills aren't nearly as important.

This why why neurosurgeons are the most hated group (together with cardiologists) in every hospital haha. You guys are extreme natcissists. I have not published anything and frankly I am not interested in research. Each to his own

Both are important, but I think you're just some schizo LARPer. If you're truly a researcher or whatever you claim, you got some serious issues buddy.

Quote from: p00293 on May 12, 2023, 11:13:21 PMBet you specialise in gender reassignment surgery.

That's if the whole claim isn't just BS ofc.

A surgeon’s technical skill ultimately determines patient outcomes. Publications can imply that a particular physician is an expert at their given specialty as you can see exactly how the patient was managed. Their claim may or may not be BS but they haven't linked any of their published, peer reviewed case reports yet. In their defense maybe they don't want to dox themselves. But I've shared with them my recent works with the hope that they understand where I'm coming from. There are no generalists in neurosurgey; only specialists so I don't understand informationispower and their perspectives either.

This strongly implies that you lack interest in improved patient outcomes because the editor in chief / review committee can't learn more about why particular decisions were made with respect to the case. publication would help you become a better clinician due to the nature of the correspondence you'd be receiving from those that read the journal. You would, as a healthcare professional make this something to work towards. Even if you're not the sole author.

I'm just acquainting you with the facts. I have my recent peer reviewed worked (not conference proceedings like some clinicians here; actual papers) linked at my profile (doi assigned) at reputable neurosurgical journals approved by an ivy league editor in chief; as the sole author. Furthermore I dm'ed the link at Elsevier directly to your profile. I see no further reason to deal with people like yourself who choose to denounce the use of all reason. Take care.

Look man, congratulations on the research. But I would recommend not arguing with random people online and sharing your private details. Good luck.
