Robotic HPB surgery is now available at @Sunnybrook! We also had our first robotic surgery training session. Has anyone used Twizzlers to practice robotic dissection? If not, I’m calling it the Toronto Twizzler Training Task (T4).

A KSAT viewer was driving down north of New Braunfels Avenue near the McNay Museum when he got into trouble with water up to the windows of the vehicle and was swept away. San Antonio Fire Department helped him get out of the vehicle, who is now safe.
