How a valuable possession slowly damaged a young man's nerve 1. 30-year-old Sidh consulted me with severe sharp shooting #pain from right buttock to the leg & foot for 3 months. Pain was more while sitting and lesser while standing or walking. Pain increased on lying down.

🧵of 🧵 We've covered several sutures now. Next is Monocryl (or poliglecaprone 25). It was designed for skin and subcutaneous tissues, and is still used mostly for that, but is also used in a number of other settings. We will go over properties, uses, etc (the usual things...)

I used to post my comics only on facebook and today fb reminded me that I drew my favorite comic from medical school this time 3(!) years ago on my gyn onc rotation. (My comics were way more scribbly back then)
Comic: medical student thinks she has free time after being allowed to leave early, but then chooses to stay with a patient post-operatively, but finds it worthwhile. As part of their conversation later, patient comments on the fact that medical students don't get much free time.

A light on this dark day: the future of medicine is bright with these minds. This was the first residency class I saw through entirely as their APD. We all grew so much together, and I am so honored to have had this experience with you! Best of luck @umassEMresident!!
