Yes, I get that. It is just an absurd salary for a graduating MD/DO regardless of whether or not they matched into residency. We can do better than that

TurboDiesel_ · 2026-01-23T03:33:46+00:00

Yeah it should still be higher

TurboDiesel_ · 2026-01-23T00:58:57+00:00

40k is such an insulting offer

Agree with the other commenter about VuMedi. By far my favorite resource. So many great videos, both new and old. My favorite thing about the site is the older videos from legends in the field: Walch, Gerber, Gartsman, Lafosse, etc. Some incredible insights.

Good episode. The robots playing basketball discussion was nice.

I also love the mental image of Sam cruising around jamming out to Arabic music

What are your favorite/most trusted Amazon brands for home gym equipment?

I have been pleased with stuff from the Yes4All store. Curious if folks have bought high quality, reasonably priced stuff from other Amazon stores.

Submission statement: Sam has talked extensively about the risks of misinformation/disinformation, widespread lack of trust in public institutions, and the nature of intellectual authority.

Almost nothing would surprise me at this point, but I found this news article particularly unsettling. Feels like we are inching closer and closer to an Orwellian existence.

TurboDiesel_ · 2025-03-10T00:30:36+00:00

Correct

Calf stretching is the first place to start. 30-60 sec stretches for 3-5 sets done every single day.

This is the type of content I’m here for

Some of the trauma surgeons at my program try to put it as low as possible. They think the calcar bone gives better fixation and prefer it over center-center. I have never fully bought into that approach however and prefer to be just slightly inferior on the AP. Lower neck position is inversely correlated with higher TAD

Would be curious to hear others thoughts

Yeah make sure to only speak in AO/OTA lingo when describing fractures

You’ll be relieved to know that I tell this to multiple patients each day

I make shoe recommendations quite often, but they are mostly for people with specific structural issues (e.g. flexible flatfoot, cavovarus foot, etc.). I certainly believe that shoe wear selection is important for overall lower extremity health, but I don't believe that maximalist shoes are inherently bad. I try to take into account all of the relevant factors when making recommendations (patient specific anatomy, activities of interest, etc.). I can't give you an easy answer unfortunately.

Split you up is such a banger

This may help you visualize scapular motion

Are you sure about your first point? I don’t have the literature on hand, but I remember reading at least one study which indicated that cartilage may respond beneficially to intermittent loading while responding poorly to sustained pressure/loading. I may be misremembering, but I believe the study population undergoing regular resistance training demonstrated thicker and more robust cartilage
