An issue I have seen in very athletic patients doing lots of upper body strength training. Thankfully quick diagnosis and treatment with surgery if needed most patients do really well.

I got a massage recently and the therapist said he would have thought I was in my early thirties and asked me what my secret was. I said it was because I tipped well.

I won't pretend I didn't see this coming. I am a Sickle Cell disease provider and I have seen almost every possible excuse for giving these patients "less than" care. But it burns. I hate this government and I hate everyone who voted for this government.

Dr. Clickbait is and always was a dementor for attention and his behavior is utterly unsurprising to anyone even tangentially involved in the heyday of MedEd on the old app.

We were given directions once be a family member that were written down to turn at Clark ST. We looked for 45 minutes for Clark Street. We finally gave up and went into a gas station so see if they knew what we were looking for. It was a Clark Station.

I was sitting in a class, I think it was biochemistry, in medical school when I suddenly figured out a clue from my Apple IIGS version of GoldRush! from when I was about 12 that I could never get past. I audibly gasped and my friend thought I was just excited about ATP synthase.
