@OGdukeneurosurg I’m very curious about the toes control and proprioception after surgery. I think I will go look for studies on this now.

@OGdukeneurosurg Let’s put some jello in a straw. What happens if you squeeze the straw? The jello is pushed down. This is exactly how the food you eat is pushed through your body, even if the muscles responsible for it are different from the ones in your arms. This process is called peristalsis.

@OGdukeneurosurg Neurofibromas are benign nerve sheath tumors of the peripheral nerves. They consist of neoplastic Schwan cells, fibroblasts and collagenous matrix. They can recur if resection is incomplete, excpecially if atypical. Often associated with neurofibromatosis, especially if multiple.

@awsumpowers Ask the attending a what they expect from you (then ask for feedback after the first two weeks). Ask the older residents what they wished they new when they were interns and the most precious lessons they learned. If you are uncertain, put your pride aside and ask.

@OGdukeneurosurg Excessive growth of smooth muscle cells in the lungs. Very rare. Cause unknown. Mostly young, white women. Possible hemoptysis and spontaneous pneumothorax. The beautiful pattern is due to cystic emphysema. Slowly progressive. Lung transplantation is needed but can recur.

@GoodishIntent @Cz_at_night The most important lesson you learn in medical school and then in the ward is to get on the nurses’ good side. They will teach you things you didn’t know you had to learn. And they are amazing. (You also don’t want to be on their bad side.)
