A 41 year old patient comes in with her mother for evaluation of double vision

On exam you notice a right eye hyperdeviation more prominent with adduction. Exam otherwise normal

Her brain MRI showed this ⬇️ (FLAIR left, GRE right)

What is this? Is the mystery solved?

@_damarsh_ MSK conditions are >25% of all ICD-10 codes, second highest expense to CMS, yet the legacy politics of many Medical school fail to provide adequate educational experiences in this area. It has been that way for decades.

This is the most bullshit vertebra I’ve ever seen in my life

Congrats to VCOM OMS-3, Phil Dunn, for representing some of work in patellar morphology at the 2024 Student American Osteopathic Academy of Orthopedics @StudentAOAO in Boston.

every academic you meet is fighting their own battle. Make it worse by asking them how the writing is going

The Class of 2027 recently held the annual Cadaver Memorial Service to honor those who donated their bodies to medical education. Students expressed gratitude for the impact these gifts have on their learning and future careers.

@cvans I’ve actually found that creating and sharing video tutorials works *incredibly* well. Lots of software “ride alongs”. Allows students to pause/start over and work at their own pace. Probably wouldn’t work for everyone’s situation, but it has saved me a ton of time and emails!

Our @Patelladoc group paper led by student J Sieberer is out today in @aossmjournals, emphasizing the importance of measuring patellar instability metrics in 3D for surgical decisionmaking. Been having lots of fun postdoc-moonlighting w/ @OrthoAtYale 🦴

@AkinchitaKumar I’ll admit to having propagated that one, lol. “So long the pinky, here comes the thumb.” is the PG carpal mnemonic. Hope all is well.

[Jonathan Millard @J_A_Millard]

@Vert_Anatomist 💯 - in the gross anatomy lab, medical students frequently ask “why” a structure takes the form they see. People (understandably) seek univariate explanations for morphology that has experienced change (or stasis) influenced by an unknowable number of pressures and constraints.

@cvans I’m convinced that everyone using Blender simultaneously has a YouTube instructional open - Blender’s UI is a like a spaceship. Hope it works!

@cvans You may have more luck importing into Blender. Here is a step by step that might be helpful:

We have to start emphasizing quality over quantity in student research exposure. The cheap CV pumping has to end.

[Sean Dreyer MD 🎮🎹 @SeanDreyer]

Med students who matched into Neurosurgery had THIRTY SEVEN pubs/presentations on average??

This research arms race to match into residency is getting wild.

It rewards students with enough financial support to take a gap year during med school.
