@hjluks As a PT, this could not be more correct doc. Now the challenge becomes getting this type of info conveyed to the patient on their 1st ortho consult and not their 3rd…or in many instances, never!

We rebuilt Tina's capacity — strength work, glute loading, lateral movement, and a return-to-run program matched to where she actually was, not where she remembered being.
Five months later, she signed up for her first half-marathon in ten years.
The tear is still there, and it doesn't matter.

Tina is 57. Competitive runner in her 30s. Then life happened — kids, loss, single parenthood. Her running stopped, and she no longer went to the gym.
When the kids left for college, she started running again. Came back too fast. Got hurt. Then hurt again. Then her knee wouldn't settle.
Her MRI showed a meniscus tear. The first surgeon said she needed surgery. Same with the second. She came to me for a third opinion.

> graduate top of the game, DIEP flap queen, 1,000+ cases deep
> join big hospital systems in Austin
> watch insurance companies nickel-and-dime cancer patients for years
> see OR fees hit $30k+ before the surgeon even picks up a scalpel
> get the infamous @UHC call *while patient is under anesthesia* asking if she really needs to stay overnight after mastectomy + reconstruction
> step out of the OR, fight on the phone, they deny her anyway
> posts the video
> it explodes
> millions of people finally see what doctors have been screaming about for a decade
> United sends the lawyers
> “delete the videos or else”

I’m inspired! The Elizabeth Potter arc is what I hope for all my physician colleagues

If I want healthcare to be different, I have to practice differently. Today at Redbud we did multiple cases in an environment built around patients, not profit margins. We had time. We had focus. We had the right team in the right setting. One patient came to us after receiving a quote of more than $100,000 for her cancer surgery elsewhere. The operating room fees alone were quoted at over $30,000. We performed her surgery today at Redbud, a CMS-certified facility with fellowship-trained surgeons and experienced nurses for a fraction of that cost. Same standard of excellence. Different priorities. Healthcare does not have to be this expensive in America. It’s not easy to do things differently, but it is possible. And we’re proving that one patient at a time.

Denton should be hosting a conference championship game this weekend. The fact that a bunch of old guys behind closed doors get to essentially decide where our conference game is played is infuriating.

North Texas opened as a road favorite at Tulane for the AAC title. AP has UNT at 20, Tulane at 21. BCS would have UNT at 20, Tulane unranked. SP+ has UNT 16th, Tulane 42nd(!!). The only ranking that views Tulane above UNT is the CFP, which is what the AAC uses.

Worth noting the UNT side is slowly filling up… for a road game.
I expect 3-4K UNT fans

@Ben_Baby Unfortunate that this puts Tulane in the driver’s seat to host the AAC Championship game. I was really hoping for a title game in Denton. Silver lining, at least the committee is favoring an AAC champion over a 1-loss JMU team (hopefully)

Very disappointing that the CFP committee robbed us of seeing a North Texas/Texas Tech playoff projection.
If North Texas wins out, that should be remedied.

Interesting guest hanging around the North Texas Athletic Center today.
I'll leave it at that.

North Texas outscored 20-5 down the stretch and lose on a tech for calling a timeout when there were none remaining.
Absolutely brutal.
