How much retrofitting would it take to convert all the cruise ships into new hospital ships? Seems like we’ve got plenty of demand, and they’ve already got pools for aqua PT. #COVID19 #HOSPITALSHIP

@MarkGoldbergMD @davidevanstx It would definitely work better w an aide but it appears to work, at least for patellars and brachioradialis. I would say the reflex spatula technique is a work in progress. Desperate times!

Did first neuromuscular new patient video visit today; initially stymied by how to test reflexes, but most patients can scrounge up a long handled, rubber headed spatula—works like a reflex hammer, it turns out (my leg, for demo purposes. #teleneurology #telehealth #aan #aanem

Patients sometimes ask why do genetic testing for their untreatable #neuromuscular diseases. One reason: the treatment horizon is becoming visible. #CMT #neuropathy @AANMember

#innovationhub is my new favorite #AANAM thing: #gamers #improv and mobile apps. @AANMember, you just keep getting more fun. (And more creative and educational and can we just start the 2020 meeting already?)

I love to obsess with the #neurology exam but this editorial re-illustrates the primacy of the history. Reminds me of what I learned from Bob Joynt @urmceducation: if you don’t know what the patient has after taking a history, go back and take another history. #MedEd
