In awe of the sheer athleticism, discipline, and grit of these world-class athletes at my first pro tennis tournament, BNP Paribas aka Indian Wells —especially on #InternationalWomensDay! 🎾

Stem Cell Therapy For Knee Arthritis. Why do we need a stem cell treatment option for patients with knee arthritis? What stem cell sources are legit in the USA? Is there any peer reviewed data supporting going international for a stem cell treatment (spoiler alert: NO) #regenerativemedicine #prp #orthobiologics #stemcell #orthopedics #kneepain #kneearthritis

How far we have come in Sports Medicine. Early 80’s. Multiple ligament injury. 7 hours in surgery!!! With advances in medical science, this is now done in 1/3rd the time. Rehab and recovery is much better. Athletes have a much better fighting chance now! freep.com/story/sports/nfl/l…

This was like a jump scare @drericksonspine as I scrolled through 😂
But in all seriousness I actually think it’d be an amazing role being an examiner! It puts a check on new surgeons that might practice on the fringe of what’s standard of care. Kudos!

1/Every yr hundreds of ortho surgeons travel to the Palmer House in Chicago to sit for oral boards thru @ABOSortho . It can be a very stressful time. When I took my exam, I was so nervous that I didn’t even remember what the inside of the hotel lobby looked like.

I had panda express fried rice for lunch, which sat out yesterday, I refrigerated it and then reheated it today. Should I be getting my affairs straight?
