Pitchers at all levels – high school, college, and professionals – are running into the same problem: their elbows are giving out and they’re requiring Tommy John surgery. This is a result of years of strain on the ligament. I believe these players are victims of coaches who pushed them too far. Coaches at a little league or high school level should be focused upon teaching their players the fundamentals of the game. The best youth baseball teams are not the ones that hit the most home runs or record the most strikeouts.…

They call them “Tap-taps,” the brightly painted open back trucks that transport passengers through the dusty streets of Haiti. A traveler taps the side of the vehicle to board, pays, rides and then taps to jump off at a desired destination. For one particular man who sat with his face covered by a towel, that destination was the Diegue clinic in Port-au-Prince. All I knew from intake was that this patient was here for a foot issue. I noticed the adult sitting uncomfortably, a towel wrapping his foot, as his eyes scanned around the room.…

I walked into the operating room, bile rising in my stomach as I saw all the shiny sterile equipment.

This exploratory surgery was supposed to give me more information than the MRI and Catscan that I had months earlier.…

Surgical Therapy: Surgical intervention for bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) remains limited because of the impaired ability of the bone to heal.

Upon entering the room during my perioperative experience, I immediately noticed steps in place that were being utilized to protect everyone within the room. All of the instruments were sterile. Nurses and surgical technicians were counting down to the very last suture to make sure all of the supplies were present. Everything touching the patient or being used during the procedure for the patient was sterile and if the items were accidentally contaminated, then more sterile gloves were put on to preserve the sterile field that had been broken.…
