Among patients with carpal tunnel syndrome randomized to a rigid wrist splint versus placebo bandage, 12-week change in symptom scores was not significantly different and proportion undergoing surgery within 1 year was similar between the two groups. https://t.co/EPCFEBOeeN

Navy SEALs have a saying.

You may find it helpful.

When something sucks, they look at each other and say:

"FULL BENEFIT"

It’s an instant mindset shift.

• Hiking and it starts pouring rain?
• Driving and your car breaks down?
• Working on a project and lost a draft?

FULL BENEFIT.

***

LESSON: Adversity is an opportunity

The message is simple.

Every adversity is an opportunity.

• To grow
• To learn
• To evolve
• To get stronger
• To become better

These moments forge us if we let them.

The next time you're facing something hard, welcome it.

Work through the process.

Learn the lessons.

Reap the full benefit.

Does anyone even want to be a doctor or do we like the idea of science and helping people and then get trapped because of the debt before we realize what this career is really about and then we’re forced to gaslight ourselves into thinking this life is okay

The NFL gave each team 5 minutes to warm up and both coaches said "fuck that" and pulled their teams off the field. Good for Sean and Zac.

Just out of curiosity, retweet if you were told by a teacher or advisor you couldn’t be where you are today.

As match weekend comes to a close I’m happy to announce that I matched at my home program, Westchester Ortho! So excited for the next 5 years! Still feels surreal #orthotwitter #orthomatch2022 #MedTwitter

[Ruby Patel, MD @RubyPatel_]

Hey #orthotwitter please help my friend and classmate Natalia find a research position 🙏🏼 @RJOSociety #MedTwitter

[Natalia Czerwonka, MD @NatCzerwonka]

Unfortunately, I did not match into orthopedic surgery. I’m calmly moving forward, although hearing my Polish immigrant parents cry on the phone was devastating. We’ve been through worse - I’ll keep pushing. Looking for research positions in orthopedics! #orthotwitter #match2022

[Ruby Patel, MD @RubyPatel_]

In #2022 #3Dprinting of large pelvic tumors for #orthopedic #oncology will continue into the foreseeable future. Multidisciplinary guided resections in tough spots is where this #technology really shines. @MayoRadiology @MayoOrthoOnc @MatthewHoudekMD #orthotwitter
