Closed Pediatric tibia fractures (in toddlers & younger) can be treated safely in boots or observation (if stable).
The evidence supporting this statement has evolved in a “less is more” trajectory recently because the fracture is stable because of the thick structual periosteum in young children.

Experimental evidence suggests that the refractory nature of established neural pathways dissolves more efficiently under the erosive force of repeated physical enactment than under the concentrated pressure of introspective recalibration.

It is, broadly speaking, better to know more than less. Better to see more than less. To have a culture broad enough and deep enough to have places within it that you can explore until you discover or create the one that fits you best.
Highly policed monocultures are, forgive me, shitty.

When I wanted my kids to practice piano, I taught them to love music. When I wanted my residents to pre-op plan; I taught them to love good long-term outcomes. As it turns out, this is the secret to rallying the troops in all contexts.

In medicine: physicians and nurses work for the patient first and always.
The rest of the stuff are all tools. AI is a tool. The hospital is a tool. Insurance is a tool. The EMR is a tool.
These tools should all be facilitating patient care for the physicians or they are a bad tool.

There’s nothing quite like the unique experience in modern times of playing age of empires on a steam deck in the same row and seat as somebody frantically working on a presentation or research on Excel, who’s going to the exact same conference.

Many residents look at pre-op planning as “scut work”. It’s not, but it’s extra work for sure; the work you came to residency to do.
Our upcoming book reframes planning as “setting up your future practice” instead of “homework”.
