Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again today. Today is just going to be a short post: “Use a Helmet“. Use a Helmet My daughter has been trying to learn how to ride her bike again. It’s been a little difficult for her since we don’t really have a big flat cul-de-sac or a quiet street for her to practice on. For this reason, the bike we bought for her almost two years ago hasn’t gotten […]

Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. This is “kind of” medicine related. Today I’m going to talk about “What is Tommy John Surgery?” What is “Tommy John Surgery”? Just so we’re clear, that picture isn’t Tommy John, it’s just some left handed pitcher I found on Pexels. I also want to be clear that I’m not an orthopedic surgeon, but I am a doctor — so I’m going to try my best to explain what […]

Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. Today is going to be a short post about shift changes and rhythm and stuff. Let’s talk about the “Day Shift”. Day Shift As you guys know, I normally work 2pm-12am, or some variation of that, on an 8 day on, 6 day off, Thursday-Thursday schedule. This works out to 80 hours in any two week time span, but it also means I work every other weekend. This last […]

Hey everyone, it’s Medicine Mondays again. Lately I’ve been talking a lot about finishing medical school and preparing for residency. Today, I’m going to switch gears and talk about something else “The End of Training”. The End of Training First of all, I want to clarify that I’m not being figurative or philosophical. This is not a commentary on wanting to end the training necessary to become a doctor, or shorten it, or anything. This […]
