Truely defined the genre of edutainment. Friendly andopen discussions on interesting topics delivering ample pearls of wisdom.
Y’all said you continue to accept recs for show topics… what about Tetraplegia- tendon transfers versus nerve transfer. Maybe with guest gurus… I’m currently reading about this population in Rehab of the hand and it has peaked my curiosity.
Like Dr Dy, I finished fellowship ten years ago. I have had great mentorship after fellowship but I also would have welcomed this podcast when I was a trainee and new attending. I am so gratified to have some of my own observations verified, and to learn some new things too. I was at a Wash U type place where “if we won’t do it, no one will” and had to learn quickly. Also great: Dr Boyer’s “ never miss the opportunity to do nothing.”
Loved this and learned so much in medical school for all things CTS wrist, hand and elbow! Dr. Chuck is inspiring me to go back for a MBA! Dr. Chris’ shared on his athletic endeavors are fun too. Keep up the great work and thanks for lending a hand! -Dave James ND Naturopathic Physician Preceptee
