So proud to welcome the new interns in person this morning. Nothing says "welcome to Detroit" like 98° temps!

Every time I do an Arthrosurface Hemicap, I encourage the residents to watch this movie. It's not the same as seeing it when you're seven but I hope they are still a little terrified. Maximillian attacks with the humeral reamer.

I still get a physical newspaper on Sundays. My favorite part is giving them to players who look at you like "what is this thing you handed me?" I tell them their parents will want to keep it. Congrats, Jackson Jobe, on your first MLB win. Your mom will have this forever.

The guy who did this awesome shoe shine at the MSP airport just asked me out of the blue if I have ever heard of "Harrison Bergeron." It's one of my favorite short stories. The world is an incredible place. #Vonnegut

For the first time in nearly 15 years there are no Teslas in our driveway. Today we sold her Model X and last week we sold my Model S. A Macan EV and a Polestar 3 have upgraded our electric vehicle stable. So glad to have much better EV choices than when I had to compromise to drive electric.

This should be the next book you read. The parallels to pioneering women in ortho is chilling.

Two consecutive texts with my wife. Me bragging about my cool warm sports coat and her sharing the morning comics today!
Me wearing a red turtleneck and vintage Harris Tweed jacket with a text that says "This is 2° air temps either with no breeze and a vintage Harris Tweed."A cartoon from today's paper Wumo. It's a single panel of four people at a table with coffee mugs in front of them. "And you're an expert in sociology?" one asks. 

"Actually, no. I just wear tweed and a turtleneck so everyone thinks so."

It fits because half of shoulder surgery is sociology.

So excited to be headed back down to Lakeland to do physicals on position players. Pitchers and catchers reported last week. Almost ready to let the games begin!

Dr. MaCalus Hogan came to Henry Ford as our Grand Rounds Speaker and gave an amazing talk! It is always so fun connecting with great leaders who happen to be great friends.

My favorite resident moment is finding a thing in clinic (e.g. positive "O'Brien's test" for AC joint pain) and asking "Are you surprised that this was abnormal in this patient?" Followed by. "Have you read the "Active Compression Test" article from AJSM?

Spent two hours yesterday in the lab with two PhDs thinking about the interplay between obesity and orthopaedic disease and how it can be modeled, studied, and then napkin drew a ten year research pathway. I love this part of research so much.

The Interurban Orthopaedic Society is small, intimate, and specialty agnostic. What I love about it is the ablility to talk with leaders across their career timelines. The biggest challenges in medicine right now are not clinical.

Leading an organization is humbling. I frequently find myself wondering if I’m doing the right thing, even though I know that I’m doing the right thing.
