Pediatric orthopaedic surgeon nicknamed *The Boss of Bones* by a cool 7 y.o. patient. Come for occasional ortho opinions. Stay for far-left political opinions. Quit my job and will be launching new practice in 2026. #ortho

Can you imagine the charges if a protestor shot an officer with a paintball gun?

I’m sure the ILA and the Teamsters are super duper glad they did not endorse a candidate for president. Surely neither was going to profoundly impact their industry enough to warrant such a thing.

Hell no you are not. The number of lives you impact every day is massive. Journalism and the arts are the cornerstones of healthy societies.

My immigrant grandfather was a dishwasher➡️diner owner, had 3 kids, all went to college (one to West Point and served his country in Vietnam). Among his nine grandchildren are: teachers, special education therapist, grief counselor, hotel manager, physician, entrepreneurs, and people in finance.

You know, maybe it is merely a coincidence that the POTUS who has exhibited the greatest lust for authoritarian power is having a North Korean style “All Hail Our Glorious Leader” military parade on his birthday.

Neither Trump nor Musk will face real punishment. Their wealth will protect them. Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller, on the other hand, as leader of DHS (and ICE) and architect of these actions, well if the American courts do not act, the international courts may have something to say.

As a White guy who didn’t get into med school on my first try, I went to my state med school, asked, “What would make me a better applicant?” I didn’t ask why Person A got in over me. I addressed what they viewed as my deficiency, and got in the following year. These mediocre whiners are the worst.

The best data avail show under 1% of trans people have regret about their medical/surgical treatments around transition.
~20% of women will undergo a revision/removal of breast augmentation, often leaving them disfigured. That’s a 20x difference that few consider to be controversial gender care.

We need physician guilds, by specialty. We have surrendered what our scope of practice is to people who think patients are ICD-10 codes. We should be the ones declaring how many patients should be seen in a day, how many hours off is required after an overnight or 24 hour shift.

You want someone who could manage the mobilization of numerous entities to achieve a goal? ✅
Someone with problem solving skills that would make Sherlock Holmes jealous? ✅
Someone who knows how to prioritize the well-being of others while facing down extremely volatile personalities? ✅

I used to do the gait analysis for our gait lab. They were done one week, read the next, takes about 30-45 min per. I know certain medical studies take longer to do, but waiting more than two weeks is a practice management issue. They should not do the study if they can’t read it in a timely manner.

No, no. You’ll see. This will be the moment when an American billionaire finally receives justice. I can feel it.

Elon Musk is simply too rich for a democracy. In no sane world should a “party of the people” seek to align themselves with a man whose wanton lust for power just left hundreds of thousands of lives destroyed in a matter of months.

I don’t believe in an afterlife, and their wealth will shield them from true justice in this life. So, I will enjoy this while it lasts.

Why would two narcissists choose to humiliate each other and themselves for a distraction? It makes no sense.

Sorry. They only fundraise.

“You might think it’s just that giant food corporations have registered lobbyists and make public donations to support friendly politicians to induce them to support the mega farms in their states/districts. You think it is all done out in the open? You fool. In reality, there is a secret cabal…”
