This is going to be a big problem.

Not typically on pubmed (a free online database of medical literature) on Saturday nights but heard it was down and had to check for myself.

Ukrainian soldier Taras Stolyar recently won Metallica's endorsement for playing Nothing Else Matters on the bandura, a traditional Ukrainian folk instrument.

Now have a look at who sings to him as he plays Shape of My Heart.

Interesting. Good to see someone able to do MRI imaging study, not feasible for us to do this.

Would have liked to see 20 mL and imaging after 45 minutes….

Retro-SCTL space block = MTP block.

Intertransverse terminology has created the false impression there are several blocks, more confusion.

Love the video! Now thinking do not need multiple injection for MTP, do get multilevel spread clinically (maybe not equivalent volume for volume as injection in PVS)
