@DrAdamBitterman I had the same issue with Walmart pharmacy. They even told the patient your doctor doesn’t have a license when I’m licensed in 3 states! Then I called and gave them my license number and still they did not dispense it. I stopped sending any postop meds to them altogether. Solved

@traumaticum Haven’t done this before but may be we can borrow a page from talar shoulder OCD management. I would take down the ATFL, plantarflex, varus and translate the talus forward as much as you can. If that doesn’t get you enough access, go for the osteotomy

[Ahmed K. Attia, MD @AttiaMD]

@sportsdoc2016 @InvictaOrtho @generalorthomd @traumaticum This is a tough one especially with questionable wounds. Take back to OR, wash, exchange a couple screws to 4 cortices (ladder construct), wound vac and total contact cast. Optimize glycemic control and absolute non weight bearing. I’d bring up that there is an amputation risk.

@TPP_MD I recently learned that shifting your sense of shame into guilt can be helpful. Shame makes you feel incompetent because you made a mistake and it’s about you. Guilt is about others and is situation specific. It doesn’t erode your confidence and makes you wanna make things right

@BostonFootAnkle Open BG with knotless anchors. If varus, big athlete (other than soccer), poor tissues, and/or revision then will add an internal brace.

@AAOS1 IM screw + BMAC

@Doc_Lamkin There’s more metal than bone in TMT1 and 2! Nonetheless, I’m impressed that they managed to get all this screws in

@ampullaofv8r 100% will send it. I have full text for all my papers stored on research gate and it literally takes less than a minute to share it. Ask for whatever paper you need, that’s the whole point we write papers!

[Ahmed K. Attia, MD @AttiaMD]

@residencyreview Please speak to your attending about this. It’s his/her job to make sure you have a non-toxic environment. Most scrub techs I worked with as a fellow were great. Some were passive aggressive for no reason. Try to not let it ruin your learning opportunity

Christmas decorations are starting to go up in the Catterall Unit. Strong work as always from our Limb Recon clinical nurse specialists!

After 2 years (6 semester) of hard work, finally PGDip ClinEd with merit from @EdClinEd! It was an immensely challenging yet rewarding experience. The discussions, reading material, and assignments opened my eyes to a whole new perspective. Highly recommended
