He explores the benefits and drawbacks of patient groups on social media, explains how social media impacted the Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, and provides examples of online patient groups. He also discusses whether surgeons should encourage patients to post on social media, what roles surgeons should have in online patient groups, and discusses his own experience with online patient groups.  

Joel also reviews recent JANS articles on lung cancer screening and USPSTF recommendations, percutaneous vs. surgical revascularization of non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction with multivessel disease, outcomes in adult congenital heart disease patients with Down syndrome undergoing a cardiac surgical procedure, and the impact of nighttime cardiovascular intensive care unit staffing on failure to rescue and revenue.  

In addition, Joel explores Samurai (the Direct True Lumen Technique) cannulation in acute type I aortic dissection, off-pump aortic arch debranching via upper ministernotomy, and robotic thoracic truncal vagotomy. Before closing, he highlights upcoming events in CT surgery.
