Lecturing to learners and letting them pick the subject before going to the white board is one of my favorite high stakes adventures.

Hard surgeries result in hard clinics and vice versa.

Even so, slowing down and giving each patient the time they deserve makes it worth it.

@NancyMD #orthodon? But not to be confused with orthodon-tist

Doing hard things is part of what orthopaedics is all about. Most of the time surgeons equate that with complex or revision surgery.

I think it’s important to also do the hard things in clinic and professionally like educating, putting patients centermost , having clear indications, research, and saying “no.”
