My day as an intern on trauma surgery: managing the trauma floor, codes in the ICU, and a nice thoracotomy in the ED. I sewed up the man's chest before he was brought to the morgue. Might be my favorite rotation of intern year.

(7/x) One often overlooked tool to determine the hemodynamic impact of rapid Afib - an arterial line. If there are periods where the ECG shows rapid ventricular response but the arterial line does not show corresponding pulsatility, this means that the rapidity of the Afib is likely impacting hemodynamics. In this case, there are only ~13 heart beats in this strip for 33 ECG beats - thus only ~ 1 in 3 cardiac cycles result in ejection. Here, Afib is almost certainly either a contributor or perhaps even sole driver of hypotension. Also notice the narrow pulse pressure, another indicator of low stroke volume.

Realizing I made it through med school never once buying a pair of scrubs 😂

My therapy. 🏀 Hooping with the guys at the @TCU rec over the last 4 years has gotten me through the stress of med school. Lifelong friendships formed on this court!!

@CollinBraithw8 Thanks brotha! You as well!

@NoahEmbrydoc Good luck brotha! Excited to see where you end up!

@BayatonAJ Great program. Have fun!

Some stereotypes exist for a reason eh? 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

@amack1976 It's becoming almost the norm, yeah, since ortho has gotten so competitive

@NoahEmbrydoc Is this common for Ortho? I did multiple elective rotations during my MS4 year, but only one Sub-I

Last month I had the great opportunity to present my 4-year research project at American College of Surgeons 2023 Clinical Congress in Boston. They opened up an Orthopedics branch and are in the process of growing it. Fantastic experience to be a part of!!

@nick_pettinelli 4) Ortho Anki deck can help a ton for random pimp questions. 5) Try to be as extroverted as you can (within reason) to really get to know the residents and attendings. Building a connection with someone can really help your chances. 6) Sleep as much as you can!

@NoahEmbrydoc Congratulations, I’m sure you’ve learned a ton in 5mo dedicated to Ortho. Any wisdom you would pass on to perform well and make the best impression on aways?

@nick_pettinelli 1) Be on time (obvious but can be harder than you think when you're in a new city). 2) Treat the rotation as a month-long interview, some programs will truly use the rotation as this in place of a formal interview. 3) Hoppenfield's for prepping for cases. This book is incredible.

Interesting and concerning…

@allisonoconn To me it’s an incredible honor and probably the most fascinating study rather than horrifying

We don’t talk enough about how horrifying it is that medical students spend months dissecting dead human bodies.

@aly_skoczek This is so true.

Everyone talks about how SubI's are so wonderful and rewarding and how it feels great to work in your future field for months.....but we also need to talk about how they are isolating, overwhelming, and emotionally and physically draining

Campbell Clinic is amazing as you can feel the history here. Dr. Campbell brought Orthopedics here from his studies in London and Vienna in 1909. It’s an honor to rotate here!

Best/funniest roasts your attending gave you. Go

@JosephAHoyle Keep killing it Joseph!

I am presenting Scuba dive tables to a new #hyperbaric fellow and a longtime US Navy Diver, instructor, and hyperbaric attending physician tomorrow. Nervous, but excited to share something I am passionate about! 🤿 #HBOT #Scuba

Had a blast on Arthroplasty rotation at Texas Hip and Knee 👍🏼
