Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) lesions of the knee can be difficult to treat. They most commonly occur on the lateral aspect of the medial femoral condyle (adjacent to the notch). They can also occur on the LFC, trochlea or patella. Below is an example of the typical location

Driveline changed how baseball develops hitters. But what happens to the players it hasn’t fixed? Months of reporting on Kristian Campbell, a changing coaching profession, voices afraid to speak out and a sport wrestling with what works and what doesn’t. cbssports.com/mlb/news/polar…

How a polarizing hitting approach took over MLB, and what happened when it stopped working for a...

Driveline Baseball helped turn Kristian Campbell into a $60 million player, but now he's stuck in Triple-A, trying to rediscover his swing

Surgery is a "wicked" environment: feedback is delayed, noisy, and often biased. My essay on why experience doesn't always equal mastery, and how to learn when the feedback loops are broken. leezhaomd.org/post/the-wicke… #MedTwitter #Surgery #MedEd

MIN decided to punt to ATL from the MIN 28 on 4th & 1 with 9:47 remaining in the 4th while losing 6 to 15. With a Surrender Index of 8.35, this punt ranks at the 93rd percentile of cowardly punts of the 2025 season, and the 90th percentile of all punts since 1999.

While I wasn’t a Cubs fan growing up, I was a HUGE Sandberg fan. What an incredible player and by all accounts an even better person. Here’s to Ryno.

I have had additional scribes go to PA, PT and other graduate schools. These are, by and large bright, motivated folks who will make our profession better. If we lose these roles, do these people seek other types of opportunities? Do we as a profession lose them entirely?

I won’t pretend to have the answers, but I will simply say that I would like to encourage MDs to consider thinking beyond the dollars and cents of the AI vs live scribe topic. This is a time when, perhaps more than ever, we need our best and brightest to consider medicine.

Whatever we can do to attract and nurture these people’s careers, we should consider doing. I’m sure medicine will change a lot over the next 10 years, but it’s hard for me to envision a scenario where we are better off with fewer bright minds around us Or maybe I’m just old

I made a couple phone calls recommending her to some PDs, and she got a couple additional ortho interviews as a result. She matched highly on her list for residency (not at a place I called). Now she is a 4th year resident! (News flash- I’m old)

If AI takes over these types of roles exclusively, do we lose something? I think we do. We need to be able to expose prospective MDs to the profession. They need to see ‘behind the curtain’ and gain the experience needed to achieve their goals.

But without the experience of being a scribe, does she get into med school? Did her exposure to ortho prompt her to consider a career she otherwise may not have? I’m not sure, but it certainly didn’t hurt.

And she will be doing a hand fellowship after she completes her residency. I’m certain she’ll be an incredible surgeon. I’m certainly not saying she couldn’t have done it without my help- she’s very talented.

What are other physician’s thoughts on AI scribes? We are starting to use them in our practice, though I continue to have an in-person scribe. I worry there may be a societal cost for things like this… A 🧵

She wanted to go to med school, and did. Later on, she decided she wanted to do orthopedics (I was happy). I wrote her letters in support for both endeavors. On paper she was a solid but not necessarily a standout candidate.

My first scribe when I started in my current practice nearly 10 years ago was Jess. She was amazing. I had never used a scribe before, and she built out exam and conversation templates that I continue to use nearly unchanged almost a decade later.
