The most dangerous grift in ophthalmology right now is “glasses are harmful.” People that claim diet, exercise, and a 10 part instructional webinar can help you live spectacle free! No. Stop it.
It’s not a big deal for most adults. They will lose some money before realizing that no amount of exercise and bull testicle consumption will fix their presbyopia.
But those same adults have kids. If young kids don’t get the glasses they need, their brains won’t develop normal vision. I’m talking permanent vision loss. I have seen it happen. It’s awful and entirely preventable.

An older drawing showing why grabbing 'extra' fat and muscle when closing the fascia can lead to separation of the fascia later on.
On the next slide, we'll use simple geometry to understand why suture 'A' is not as good as suture 'B'.

This was ruled a foul in the final seconds of Samford-Kansas in a 1-point game.

Samford’s A.J. Staton-McCray just executed one of the CLEANEST chasedown blocks you’ll ever see.
That’s a whole lotta ball…

One of the lesser known holidays occurs each year at about this time:
the Chief Resident Solstice, which is when almost all residents in their final year reach a maximum in terms of f***ing being done with this s***.

Now there are more rules today about mistreating others, so sometimes people will instead direct the negative energy toward mistreating themselves. This often comes in the form of trying to amass more and more cases, or in picking up ‘leadership’ roles that one isn’t suited for.

A lot of discussions about difficult cases seem to assume the existence and availability of The Best Surgeon In The World For This, who is perhaps sitting there on the shelf in a lyophilized state, ready to be rehydrated and put into action when needed.

This is like treating a sunburn with aloe and not ever discussing sunscreen.
There is NO data. I repeat NO data to justify first line therapy be moisturizers and lubricant for GSM

🧵regarding the 'rapidly absorbable' sutures, which are used less often than other suture types, but fill specific roles in a number of different surgical specialties.
We'll go over the uses of (and differences between) Chromic, plain gut, 'fast' gut, and Vicryl Rapide.
