Common misconception:

'I've got time before my interview; I'll practice later.'

The truth?

Early practice identifies weaknesses and strengths.

The more you prep, the more confident you become.

Medical training can foster ethical blind spots, normalizing actions that later feel deeply wrong. To ensure compassionate, ethical care, we must change the culture of conformity in medicine, prioritize transparent communication, and respect patient autonomy.

Double-Guide-Wire broken nail extraction technique

when life gives you lemons... make your own rim plate!

I'd ordered an Aptus lunate rim plate but they sent the wrong gear

Distal Radius Fracture with Lunate Facet Involvement and Radiocarpal Dislocation
A 71-year-old male presented following a trip and fall from standing height, resulting in a palmar radiocarpal dislocation and an associated distal radius fracture. Initial radiographs and CT imaging confirmed the fracture dislocation, specifically demonstrating involvement of the lunate facet and a coronal split of the radial styloid. Marked radiocarpal arthritis, preexisting radial shortening, and increased volar angulation were noted, suggesting a previous distal radius fracture, although the patient was unsure of any prior injury.
