Y’all. Throwback to 2019 @CleSpineReview! One of my spine partners here at @uk_neurosurgery, Dr. Ryan Hofler (2nd from the left), and I were on the same team for “The Hike” and didn’t realize it!! I was a PGY-4 back then @UNCneurosurgery.😂😂😂 The world is so small.

ICYMI…just realized this is available on YouTube: my presentation @CSRS_org a couple of years ago on research funding opportunities for #spine surgeons #neurosurgery #orthotwitter #mdphdlife #MedTwitter #Neuroscience youtu.be/h7yHmHlcJzg

Shout out to @RockPatel for sharing his complications with humility and grace (including in this case a GPS/Maps related road trip complication) as part of being an outstanding surgical educator #CLESpine24

Congratulations to @RockPatelMD for winning this year’s Dumbass Award! 🥳🥳🥳#CLESpine24

Bone density pearl from Doug Orr: use Hounsfield Units (HU) on CT in ONLY cancellous bone (make sure you leave out cortical bone. <= 110 HU ~ osteoporosis #spine #CLESpine24
