2 classic quotes on Medical Education: by Dr. William Osler (often described as the Father of Modern Medicine):
“Medicine is learned by the bedside, and not in the classroom.”
“He who studies medicine without books sails an uncharted sea, but he who studies medicine without patients does not go to sea at all".
🚩Build your knowledge by reading.
But it is through the care of our patients that the learning becomes transformative.

Don't miss COMPARTMENT SYNDROME!
➡️ Timely diagnosis is critical to avoid limb loss.
➡️ Most common causes: crush, fractures (e.g. tibia), ischemia/vascular injury, prolonged immobilization
➡️ On exam: pain “out of proportion” to apparent injury, pain w/ passive stretch, tense compartments.
➡️ While not required for diagnosis, compartment pressure >30 mmHg or delta (DBP - compartment) of <30 mmHg are diagnostic.

The entire field of #AcuteCareSurgery is understaffed. Thanks @pbatesmurphy for your insightful data at #EAST2025. We are at a critical crossroads. We need to change our staffing four our patients, and for our own wellness.

Baltimore's drop in homicides - 23% since last year and a staggering 40% from two years ago - should be a national story. Mayor Scott's Group Violence Reduction Strategy, which prioritizes resources to those most at risk and community engagement, should be studied and replicated.
