I know an MVP when I see one.

Someone is having a bad day..

Consider these changes in order to help reduce pain
1) Reduce aggravating activities for 1–2 weeks and avoid deep squats, lunges, or jumping.
2) Apply ice for 15–20 minutes after physical activity.
3) Try a patellar strap or knee sleeve to reduce strain on the tibial tubercle.
4) Gentle quadriceps and hamstring stretching daily.
5) If pain persists or swelling worsens, consult your doctor.

Do you have a painful knee that looks like this?

[Sergio Guiteau MD @SergioGuiteauMD]

Pain and swelling just below the kneecap can be a sign of Osgood-Schlatter disease (tibial tubercle apophysitis).

This condition often occurs in active young adults from repetitive activities like squatting, jumping, or kneeling

EXCELLENT VS ELITE.

One of the differences between elite athletes and excellent athletes isn’t the intangibles. It’s the skills you can not teach, learn, or practice. The elite athletes see and execute plays that average or even excellent athletes can not. I see this so often covering athletes at all levels and it never ceases to amaze me. LaMelo Ball’s no look pass around two defenders is a prime example.

The G League United Men’s team earned silver at the FIBA Intercontinental Cup in Singapore.

Tough loss in a sport we usually dominate, but in defeat there’s always a win. The friendships, lessons, and connections made will last far beyond the game.

Grateful for the people I have met and the culture I experienced while in Singapore. 🙏🏽 🇸🇬🏀

@InvestingDoc What program are you using for your new letters? Also are you doing it yourself? We have used Mailchimp and it gives great stats

The treatment for these two conditions are completely different.

One of the most common things I see in my medical practice are patients with a history of joint pain who are often mis-diagnosed as having osteoarthritis. If you have a history of pain in multiple joints ask your doctor to check for blood markers for Rheumatoid arthritis.

[Sergio Guiteau MD @SergioGuiteauMD]

One of the most difficult things in sports medicine is when you inject a patient who’s in pain but it doesn’t help.

Often times in medicine we can offer care but unfortunately we can’t always promise a cure.

Hopefully this will lead to newer medication options for hair loss with fewer side effects than Minoxidil (Rogain) and Finasteride (Propecia)

The D in DNA stands for Deoxyribose. This is a simple sugar naturally found in the human body. New research shows that when this compound is isolated it can be added to a gel and used to regrow hair!

@InvestingDoc Interesting..
I’ve spoke to some billers about starting one here in S Florida who have been interested but I never explored the legal aspects of starting one. Are you looking for advice on just the corporate entity formation?

The Michael Jackson Effect.

This happened when fans would become so overwhelmed with emotion that they would faint!

This reaction is due to a condition called vasovagal syncope.

Let’s break it down. 🧵👇

[Sergio Guiteau MD @SergioGuiteauMD]

Is it bad if you faint?

Fainting is your body’s way of protecting itself. By temporarily slowing blood flow and oxygen delivery, your body will go into a state of unconsciousness forcing you to lie down. Oxygen is then redelivered to the brain and other organs.
