Here’s what it looks like injecting a cervical herniated disk with stem cells. This poor lady had 4 severe disk herniations in her neck. This case was special where we also put a product called ViaDisk as well. Which is dehydrated cadaver disk that is reconstituted and injected directly into the disk. We have an Interventional Spine specialist come in to do these (I don’t inject spine).

Until now, physicians using AI in clinic had to assemble the patient’s context themselves. Allergies, comorbidities, medications, prior procedures, copy-pasted in from the chart. Today we’re announcing a partnership with @CedarsSinai. OpenEvidence now works directly inside Epic, drawing on the patient’s full record and interpreting the medical literature through the lens of that specific patient. Cedars-Sinai is the first academic health system to deploy patient-aware clinical intelligence at enterprise scale. The clinician asks a complex question in natural language. The answer reflects both the best available evidence and the patient in front of them. Patient data is never stored after the clinical session or used for any other purpose.

Unless our Medical Schools do a better job of screening admission candidates, we won’t have any Doctors. If you don’t want to practice FULL time for at least 20-25 years, pick another profession.


97KG FS🥇 | Arutro Silot 🇨🇺 goes absolutely NUCLEAR, techs Buchanan 🇺🇸 with three four point bombs! Crazy upset here, as he defeats the american infront of his home crowd.

I’m constantly amazed how much trauma basketball players take - constantly landing hard and getting knocked around. They may be the most resilient athletes with how often they take hard hits but keep going

Should we use ultrasound for trigger point injection??? pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC45… nature.com/articles/s4159… sciencedirect.com/science/articl…




Luke Lilledahl just won the U.S. Open in unreal fashion. Down late, Lilledahl hit a lefty headlock to take out Spencer Lee, 5-4, in the 57 kg finals. Massive moment. Massive win. What a finish.
