Had a blast at #Physiatry23 yesterday! Wish I was able to stick around for the rest of the conference but it was an honor to be able to spend some time meeting all the great minds in PM&R and getting to talk about the poster @MilanOxspring and I put together!

[Riley Barnes MS @RileyBarnesMS]

@ZachBailowitzMD @UAZMedTucson @uazmedphx Thanks Dr. Bailowitz! Looking forward to having some more PM&R representation next week, and can’t wait for our Sports Med club’s specialty panel

[Dr. Miguel Escalon @dr_escalon]

Sideline emergencies in sports medicine VERY interactive and lots of learning happening here!! @AAPhysiatrists @MountSinaiRehab #Physiatry23

[Milan Oxspring, MD @MilanOxspring]

If you’re at #Physiatry23 come check out our poster at #105 to learn how proximity to PM&R residency programs influences match rates of students into physiatry. @RileyBarnesMS

After 25 years on this planet I have finally found the silver lining to having stubby sausage fingers and it is that I am instantly the least eligible person in a group to be chosen to do a manual disimpaction. #Blessed

Saw a patient today who had a corrections officer present in the room who ate peanut butter from a jar with a plastic fork for the full 10 minute patient encounter, all while rocking the worst over-gelled bowl cut I’ve ever seen.

Very upsetting that eating local honey doesn’t actually help with allergies. One of those myths that you wanna believe is true given the benefit to local businesses and bees alike.

First day of my Medicine rotation my attending complimented my hair and said I had “fantastic flow”

Love my jogger scrub bottoms but I swear they are designed to retain as much heat as possible. I didn’t know my shins sweat before these pants.

[Riley Barnes MS @RileyBarnesMS]

@AshCampbell_Rx @UAZMedTucson Thank you! Learned a lot from you and the team that week!

[Riley Barnes MS @RileyBarnesMS]

Big thank you to @UAZMedTucson for selecting me to be this year’s recipient of the John T. Boyer award! It is a tremendous honor and I promise to continue to work hard to be an advocate for our geriatric patient population!

[Riley Barnes MS @RileyBarnesMS]

@mcwhmd @UAZMedTucson Thank you Dr. Henry! Hope Chicago has been treating you well!

I explained to her that that was a dishonest thing to say given most studies showing a net decrease in overall cancer despite the increased risk of BrCA. She then started accusing the medical society of knowing nothing about female repro.

Got blocked by a family member for objecting to a post they made stating that all physicians who prescribe OCP’s to teens for acne/dysmenorrhea should be imprisoned bc they’re a known carcinogen.

Thanks to Obama joking about Biden being VP, and undoubtedly Fox News’ interesting and insightful take on the matter, the simple A&O x4 question on my exams has gotten much more confusing and political than I want it to be.

[Riley Barnes MS @RileyBarnesMS]

I then said “P-E-E-P” instead of “peep” and got laughed out of the room again. Please show me the rule book

[Doctor Funky @DrTobiasFunky]

Called it “bun” instead of “B-U-N” and my attending told me to kill myself

I came up with a terrible joke to impress my neurology attending:
What algorithm do Shepards use to determine if they should eat a sheep with a neuromuscular disorder?

Lamb-hurt? —> Eat-em
(This is a Lambert-Eaton joke)
