April is National Autism Acceptance Month
Did you know Alabama created and implemented the first state-recognized Autism Identification Card in the United States, and county health departments issue them?

@GavinPrestonMD What do you call healthy people who come for genetic testing to help understand their risk for disease? Serious question, as we in genetics often debate the language, some use ‘client’, which I also don’t like

@hjluks 1. It will hurt. Like hell. But you must hit your rehab 1000%. No excuses; 2. Be patient. Take 6 weeks off to dedicate fully to recovery. Recovery rate is 75% at 3 months, 90% at 6m, 100% at 12m. 3. Try to increase strength and ROM beforehand, but thats a bonus. 2/

Trying to graphically portray what a knee replacement recovery looks like. First draft. Not easy.

@hjluks Couldn’t agree more. This should be required education for every specialty. Esp in today’s world where patients/ parents may get a result via portal before we have a chance to contact them

How our words harm in healthcare... This topic needs much more attention...
I've always said that how we communicate with our patients matters. Putting "findings" into context matters.
