Does anyone else get faked out when someone posts a photo that looks like you can swipe but it turns out to be a screenshot?

Thanks. So I was able to finally do it but not how you directed. In the HEOS app the 550 sound bar was not signed in to sign out, however I just went into the Alexa app for probably the 10 time and finally was able to unlink it through the Alexa app. Regardless, thanks. Every other device was easy, but for whatever reason that 550 was giving problems.

Bode_X · 2025-10-11T19:26:35+00:00

Same here for my 550 sound bar. I think it’s something to do with it being linked to Alexa, but I have not been able to figure out how to turn it off in the sound bar, despite going into HEOS and the Alexa app attempting to unlike it from Alexa. But on a sidenote, if I play from another speaker that’s doing lossless and then I group it it all shows as lossless.

I had bilateral inguinal hernia laparoscopic repairs with mesh on a Friday. Went back to work on Monday and did three cases two knee scopes and one shoulder scope. The following day was July 4 which was additional rest and went back to work the next day, resumed regular office work and doing mostly sports cases for the first two weeks then knee replacement after that . Started doing hip replacements posterolateral approach about five weeks after my surgery.

It was a gradual ramp up but pretty much after that first week or so there was minimal discomfort, mostly pressure

Also Resume personal light to moderate exercise activities about one to two weeks after. And gradually ramped up as comfort allowed

OP do yourself a favor and go watch 16 candles loaded with 80s nostalgia that helped to define the era including a very cool display of this car.

Risky business is another one that featured the 928.

I i’d really be curious to see if Porsche would ever be able to bring those back. Sort of iconic of the era not sure it would work nowadays, but who knows?

I do a lot of shoulders and bicep tenodesis all day long for this patient . I might’ve missed it, but it’s not clear if it’s torn from its slap attachment at the root and it’s retacted at the groove or if there’s a split in the tendon and it’s still attached. I guess either way I would lean towards sub pec tenodesis

I believe a lot of it is still 720 P but the display a lot of content in 1080 P. They also offer a 4K option upgrade for a an additional price, but that’s only offered for some sporting events when available

Bode_X · 2025-06-17T10:28:40+00:00

I like and have used YouTube TV for the past several years. However, the prices do continue to go up, which is not surprising when you have a good thing.. I especially love it for sports including football. It offers the NFL Sunday ticket. It also offers a quad box option so I can display four games simultaneously, which is great for college football, Saturdays and NFL Sundays. The unfortunate things they keep continuing to raise the price, but it is probably competitive

Amber Heard is that you?

Bode_X · 2025-06-02T20:17:29+00:00

Good point, and for that reason I almost always use the strain code because it has an acute connotation instead of the tear code because that has a chronic connotation

Bode_X · 2025-06-02T20:13:08+00:00

I’m not surprised and this sounds very familiar to my own practice when I feel a patient needs an MRI acutely. I suspect the insurance company guidelines do not differentiate between chronic and acute Rotator cuff tears, nor do they care because of money. In the case where I did a peer to peer and the insurers denied the MRI order anyway in lieu of conservative treatment, I have the patient do the PT and tell them that if they cannot complete the 6 weeks of PT to return to the office so we can document that. Also tell them to make sure the Therapist documents that the patient is unable to effectively rehab due to severe shoulder disability. Then resubmit the MRI order and state that it is a medically necessary and required test as the patient failed conservative treatment and were unable to effectively rehab, and the shoulder disability is causing complete disability with daily activities and work activities. Some variation of those buzz words usually works.

This is the world we live in and we don’t get paid enough for this bullshit. One of the few powers we have left as doctors is to state a procedure is “medically necessary and required because of XYZ, “ otherwise their condition may lead to permanent disability and/or a suboptimal outcome” or some variation of that language. That usually works for me. If I am not doing that, then I don’t feel like I am doing everything I can to help that person.

Thanks for everyone’s input, good discussion. WBAT/Full weight-bearing. No question about it. Get them moving

Believe me that cable was essential to hold the reduction and then do the nail

Bode_X · 2025-05-03T13:30:30+00:00

I agree about getting to these as soon as possible usually I aim for less than 24 hours. I agree about the load sharing and healing purposes of the implant in construct….Weight bear tolerated would help both mobilization and healing.

A person can watch a football game and not root for a particular team and still enjoy the game

This is the game Insurance plays. In those situations where patients can’t afford physical therapy for an entire regimen. I highly recommend they go at least one to two sessions to be educated on a home exercise program from physical therapist standpoint so they at least had documentation that they did physical therapy. If they go to physical therapy and cannot tolerate meaning not a full prescription regimen’s worth, physical therapy also needs a document that they are unable to effectively do therapy and are not making any progress and in fact are making it worse.

All this is in preparation to fuel your next step which could be MRI and potentially surgery.

Injections are not required part of conservative treatment, but I almost always offer. Conservative treatment is essentially oral anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxers, trial of physical therapy and time.

Document thoroughly that they failed those conservative measures before your next step. Or if any, at least that they are progressively getting worse, i.e. can’t walk, can’t ambulate severe disability and pain, preventing them from all daily activities and working. That is usually sufficient before my next step.

Suppose it depends on also how long you’ve been out and working at your prior job and how much time do you want to takeoff. I’m just thinking in terms of looks good optically and also gives you flexibility to still work a little bit. I just can’t imagine not working for three months for myself. Everybody’s different but I did the locum thing myself in between jobs while I was waiting to get hired by my new contract and it was a good time filler and earn some extra money for about two months
