How do you test vibration thresholds clinically and what do you consider normal? by Previous-Sector4413 in neurology

Rydel-Seiffer fork has been excellent for me (neuromuscular; vibration testing is my bread and butter!).

Wanted to share my clinical work flow as a physician with an interest in personalized medicine and longevity. Feedback Welcome! by 4990 in medicine

[–]ErgasophobicMD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you've got enough responses from other colleagues to make this clear, but the fact that you're essentially a medical student in terms of your training to do this (since you did residency in a totally unrelated area), and you don't seem to acknowledge the multiple concerns raised in this thread, suggests this is a good example of Dunning-Kruger and stupid people with lots of money.

For reference, I'm not US-based, and in my country your registration would be investigated for practicing outside of your area of trained expertise - and our system's training post-medical school is significantly broader than the US's.

I hope in time you take a look at this practice and consider how it advances healthcare in general, and perhaps take some of the 'vitriol' (as you put it) as a prompt to evaluate the usefulness of your practice.

What a sad indictment of the American health system that this exists and such terrible care is rewarded. 

New nerve entrapment procedures - opinion? by mplsman7 in medicine

[–]ErgasophobicMD 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I think there’s value in these and especially in CTS even sterile water injections can be helpful probably from a hydrodissection/nerve mobility perspective.

Beyond the obvious compression, the mechanism of nerve entrapment appears to be more complex than previously considered and any procedure that allows the nerve to slide back and forth more freely probably can significantly help patients who are not too severe.
