There IS a Doctor in the House, MD🩺

Alas, this is not required reading in med school. Anything i tell you would just be i ternet research.

Happy to help with any clinical questions

Good luck

Yes, unlikely from there. Best bet is likely a severe muscle lac that never gets repaired so poorly heals

Three major nerves that go to the hand: median, radial, and ulnar

If you look at nerve palsies of the hand, should give you some good insight on permanent disabilities that would result from damage to them.

Im just humbled that you trust me with your characters

Your very messed up characters

Yes indeed

A couple arteries and major nerves

Are you trying to injure your character?

If you hit an artery, they probably wont bleed out. But if you hit a nerve you can lose function to your hand

Generally, aiming outside the arm is safe

Happy to help!

Hi friends!

Here’s your periodic reminder to reach out with any medical questions for your projects. No charge.

For serious, I’m just here to improve the medical accuracy in fiction.

What you write matters!

My wife knows this is the only cartoon character I would leave her for

Thanks for the first script feedback!

Few quick winter reminders for my bsky friends

1) antibiotics will NOT treat a cold

2) the color of your boogers does NOT determine if you need antibiotics

3) the best way to deal with ICE is to turn up the HEAT

One thing I appreciated about TRAIN DREAMS was its depiction of medicine 100 years ago

No one went to the hospital
No one saw a doctor
People literally dropped dead without CPR

But you did you best to care for the people around you

Hey hypocrites, why arent you disclosing the stroke that Trump obviously had just before that pathetic parade he demanded for his birthday?

Weren’t you furious at Biden’s team for protecting him?

I will bet my medical license you’re hiding it

When there’s only one other person in the gym in the middle of the night…and theyre unapologetically posing shirtless for themselves in front of the mirror as you awkwardly wash hands next to them…

…or remember, they just changed the US Army uniforms back to WW2 standards

My guess is this is a promo for the new 1776 BDUs they’re going to require

Late hit out of bounds. Another 15yd no call

False start noncall on #78 on that TD run

Plus that clear non-call targeting

I’ll never forgive the hypocrisy of the Miami AD in hamstringing USC because Reggie Bush’s mom’s boyfriend got a deal on a house when his own school gave improper benefits to over 70 players

Cheaters

There’s about 7 PI/holding calls the refs havent called on Miami in this game…

Sick burn

Is there a word for feeling like you need to go get some exercise AND lay down to take a nap at the same time?

It’s outside. I’ve been to the outside many times myself

Theyre made of plastic and paper and live in the most annoying cash register play skool ever made, but yes

Conversation I overheard walking past my wife (finance pro) putting my daughter (3) to bed:

Wife (fun/whimsical): what if I told you I could take your money and turn it into MORE money?!?!

3: ….😭wwwaaahhh!!!! Don’t take my money!!!!!!!😭

That is the real life reality here, too. One more reason it’s not realistic dialogue

I dont know, ask my kids. Stickers fix anything!

Thiracic anatomy with lungs, bones, arteries and nerves

Creatives, stop thinking you’re being clever by having your characters shot in the shoulder

As this lovely photo shows, there is a GIANT artery and vein right above the collarbone. And those yellow lines are the nerves that control all function to the arm

Best to avoid those🤷‍♂️

Also, depending on the specific allergy, celebrex might be an option

Fairly low cross reactivity.

I would absolutely mention this to a patient with a documented aspirin allergy!

Exactly! Film/television might be the only education people receive

In terms of drug choice, 800 every 4 hrs is certainly excessive, but 600 every 6 would be the first thing I advise in the SHORT TERM for people without contraindications

Hah, cant argue with that sound logic!

The cool thing is that film/tv actually has an opportunity to make people LESS idiotic
