#orthotwitter #medtwitter Well, sir, it’s been years since your total shoulder & everything seems like it’s going very well. You have no pain, & great strength & range of motion. X-rays are stable, & there’s no signs of infection. The Bacterium Formerly Known As P. acnes:

Not sure how much I’ll use it, but I had to create a new 🟦sky account (efforts at anonymity = I forgot my password & didn’t have a backup) I’ll now be there as lady-interlocks. Will try to find as many of you as possible there too.

Watching election coverage right now feels like refreshing the EMR to see if the labs you literally just sent are back. Like, yeah, I knew the Hb was going to be 8, but what’s the white count? Is the INR going to be 1.5 or 15?

Some kids have BFFs. Some kids have BBFFs. Some kids have both (or at least they do according to the peds patient who said I was their “BFF” while waking up from sedation for a fracture reduction)

In my n of 1, empiric interventional analysis has demonstrated that a Reese’s cup prior to 10am can positively affect mood. However, to achieve sufficient power, additional study is necessary.

Do you ever watch a trailer for a direct-to-streaming movie & think, “wow that could be really good” but know deep down that you’ll never actually watch it bc there’s a reason it’s on Netflix & not in theaters? That’s what it feels like going on dating apps in your 30s

Like, it’s a good concept but not *great* Maybe there’s a plot hole. Or the ending is disappointing. Or the dialogue is just…off. But you just know you’d end up wasting 2 hours on a Saturday afternoon thinking, I guess it might’ve worked with different casting?

Whenever I get frustrated about the inverse correlation between results & relative amount of time/effort I put into my fantasy fb team, I remember trying to learn EKGs & it all makes sense. Well, not EKGs. Those still don’t make sense.

They also tend to be EXistential and EXhausting, which has an appealing aspect of alliteration.

Screaming into a… - Category 1 abyss: having to change your EMR password. Again. - Category 2 abyss: your patient ate breakfast, surgery delayed x8hrs - Category 3 abyss: they added another click before you can sign each clinic note

- Category 4 abyss: whatever your specialty’s version of “tibula” is - Category 5 abyss: prior auth/peer to peer - Category 6 abyss: explaining objective facts to the confidently-wrong
