Look, you guys already call crisps chips, coriander cilantro, and rocket arugula. We’re quite used to you having weird alternative names for stuff. Happy to nod along.

That is great. I might have to insist on all my patients having a St George’s cross on their casts. You know just to identify them easily as my patients 😂

If I detected one I’d probably EUA it and place syndesmotic fixation if needed. Can’t say it’s a situation I’ve recognised to date. Perfectly possible that I’ve seen it but not recognised it. Any data on how common these injuries are as a proportion of ankle sprains?

We have addressed this problem by (mostly) not having stairwells. One fringe benefit of working in a high seismic risk location where land is not at a premium.

This is a source of friction in our home. Mrs Dr McHale is a big fan of the pentatonix Christmas album. For me…
