Looks like a pivot shift injury to his right knee- classically seen with an ACL tear.

A devastating moment after all of the hard work to rehab his prior injury to be ready for this moment and sustain this on his very first move

Great lake day celebrating our fellows w/all of our families. The @MizzouOrtho Sports fellowship is not just a top notch surgical experience, it’s also a lot of fun along the way.

Train where the training is best!
When the patient is asleep and the drapes are up you can’t take a resume or CV into the OR with you!

[J Soze @JordanSoze]

In anesthesia you’re exposed to hundreds of surgeons throughout your training and career.

A hill I’ll die on is that the best surgeons came from workhorse community hospitals, not ivory tower institutions.

Can confirm- video/TV broadcast did not exaggerate how dense the fog was

[Mark Etheridge @marketheridge]

Vanderbilt’s Braden Holcomb appeared to slug a go-ahead home run, but no one really knows. The ball reached the outfield stands, but there’s no evidence to determine whether it bounced, remained in the air, or if a band of traveling gypsies waded through the fog and absconded with a souvenir.

I understand it was late, and they hoped to finish the game, but the lack of visibility had escalated from a safety hazard to the point where they couldn’t even find a batted ball. Maybe the video was worse than inside the stadium, but that was one of the oddest moments in a sport that specializes in them. -- For more:

WOW. MIZZOU TAKES THE SERIES IN LEXINGTON 🔥🔥

Tigers match their 2025 SEC win total in 12 games (27 games to reach 3 wins last season).

[Kendall Rogers @KendallRogers]

How about @MizzouBaseball? Hits the road and takes 2/3 from No. 24 Kentucky with a 5-2 win this afternoon. Juan Villareal and Eli Skidmore combined for five shutout innings out of the bullpen for the Tigers. #SEC

Most people don’t realize that many of these jobs are not caregivers. In fact, we are seeing physicians elect for early retirement and finding a clinical RN over 50 is like finding a unicorn.

In fact, majority of these jobs are non-clinical are actually parasitic to the host: the buyer and the seller (the physician and the consumer).

Recent job-posting data from 2025 shows employers listed 180,800 non-clinical healthcare roles (up 8% from 2024). Key drivers included:
>>Financial/billing roles (medical billing and collections): 37,500 postings, +47% year-over-year.
>>Administrative roles: 59,700 postings, +15%.
>>Roles like patient access specialists and intake coordinators also surged as organizations focused on throughput.

BLS projections reinforce this: medical and health services managers are expected to grow 23% from 2024–2034 (much faster than average), with low unemployment rates in areas like medical secretaries/admin assistants (3.7%), claims adjusters/examiners (2.4%), and medical records specialists (1.0%).

And while we need jobs in the United States, and good paying jobs, the irony is that these jobs aren’t enhancing local economies like the government intends because they drive up the cost of healthcare.

Therefore, the purported economic benefit of adding another manager at the hospital, for example, is off-set by the exponential cost created by the system itself. The costs are reflected in greater government subsidy and arbitrage, but also higher premiums.

🚨UPSET: Drew Berkland hit one of three home runs for the Fighting Irish and had three hits as @NDBaseball secured a series win at home over Clemson with an 8-7 victory. Bino Watters had two hits and two RBIs for the #Irish as well.
