Twitter Surgery - In the Operating Room

Not too long ago I posted about text messaging from surgeon to surgeon across counties saved a young boy’s life, so why not Twitter, although I believe this was not done for surgical instructions this time as was the text messaging post. 

This was done from the Henry Ford Hospital and to follow live typing in #twOR got you to the updates.  Johns Hopkins was tuned in for the event as well so now we have Twitter Surgery.   Someone had posted this on the feeds and I missed getting the name of the tweet here so my apologies for not having the “hat tip” reference as I normally do.   Feel free to comment though and let me know by all means.  BD
