@MaxEpsteinMD Disagree! Contralateral oblique 15-20, caudal tilt 10-20 for PSIS to be in upper third, aim for white rhomboid and a 25 slips in like butter 95/100 times. I get much better intraarticular spread and find patients get better and longer relief.

@drpillado Just wait for their realization that attendings are just normal people too 😆

@rjgcoach @FTC I’m not sure which of the two questions you are replying to 🤔

[Joshua @JoshuaElkinMD]

Does #finalruling on #noncompete go into effect immediately and thus employees are able to act on it, or can future challenges retroactively put employees in violation? @FTC

[Joshua @JoshuaElkinMD]

@MichaelAlbertMD I believe it only applies to for-profit entities unfortunately

@crookcol3 @FollowedByNone @Real___iTamara Ours have done pretty well in -40 temps while living in Alaska and in 90s-100s of Utah

@DrKenMautner Congratulations on such a significant manuscript. Proud to be able to say I learned under you at Emory!

[Joshua @JoshuaElkinMD]

@TheDrROBO It is such a rewarding injection to do for patients. Unfortunately has to be repeated frequently for patients with upper extremity CRPS to allow desensitization therapy. Regarding the orofacial pain, have you considered an SPG block?

Stayed the night at a surprise airbnb booked by wife. First time “flying” private! Model Y a bit chilly this morning but warmed up quick! #DC6 #airbnb #tesla #modely #myp @elonmusk

@AbdullahNewaj You got better shoes this time!! 😝

[Joshua @JoshuaElkinMD]

@AbdullahNewaj @UofU_Anesthesia @UofUtahPain @benjamin_gill @DianaJohnsonMD @MD_Uribe I'm pretty sure the fellows last year were cooler

[Joshua @JoshuaElkinMD]

@drestheryaniv Who knows! I did a SCS on a very large patient and they are losing a significant amount of weight due to being much more active. Definitely need a motivated patient, though.

[Joshua @JoshuaElkinMD]

@UWRehabMed @MVGutierrezMD Unfortunately would not qualify for acute inpatient rehab as it is not a new injury. Just severely under treated for bowel/bladder, skin, and DME. Unfortunately I cannot see/eval in my current capacity

[Joshua @JoshuaElkinMD]

I have a #pmr patient in Alaska with a #spinalcordinjury. Unfortunately no PMR/sci docs in Alaska. Can any #aapmr or #aap people recommend an SCI doc in Seattle?
@UWRehabMed

[Joshua @JoshuaElkinMD]

Residency training in #PMR and fellowship trained in chronic and interventional pain management. My patients suffer additional months of waiting because of this requirement!

[Joshua @JoshuaElkinMD]

@C_KenyonDO @wustl_pmr @UWRehabMed 🤦‍♂️ was walking into the patients room. Don’t walk and tweet I guess

[Joshua @JoshuaElkinMD]

@GabbyAbissi Depends on location and cause of pain obviously, but they may be a good candidate for spinal cord stim or dorsal root ganglia stim if conservative measures are exhausted

[Joshua @JoshuaElkinMD]

Will miss these great people from the SLC VA :-( (among so many others)! I am so thankful for their help and guidance through the short fellowship year!!! @UofUtahPain @AbdullahNewaj @holdenitupp @MaxEpsteinMD

[Joshua @JoshuaElkinMD]

@MaxEpsteinMD @AbdullahNewaj @UofUtahPain We are moving to anchorage, alaska!

[Joshua @JoshuaElkinMD]

Going to miss the great people at the SLC VA!!! @AbdullahNewaj @UofUtahPain
