Thanks , I will do my best to stay safe. You too! That is terrible news about the fires and poor air quality. I remember living in Eugene Oregon and a terrible fire season . The air quality was so bad. Someone at work left the doors open and so much smoke filled my space I took out an Oxygen tank and put on a cannula.lol But it still didn’t help . My lungs were hurting during that shit, so understand the pain. Good luck . The extra air purifiers helped out but it was very scary.

Thank you! I’m made the first airplane trip getting here. The plane was half full. I had 4 empty rows in front of me . It would have been just perfect IF the stewardess did not stand in the aisle talking to an unmasked passenger for 45 minutes! She kept feeding the passenger small bottles of wine and talking to her . The only way you Are allowed to be unmasked on the plane is eating For quick snack or drinking . If anyone she should know better . She was about 10 feet in front of us . Very selfish . We had on N95’s and hoods and glasses and didn’t take them off . The trip was only 1 hr 45 minutes so ....fingers crossed. I have 2 days of interviews now as a stranger in a strange place during very strange times. I am just so relieved to be out of lame ass Oklahoma for a few day’s . The people up here seems so much cooler .

did you get a photo when this was happening? A little social media shaming would be satisfying.

good luck on your interviews

Pizza guy left his pizza bag here last night, should I keep it or try to get a free pizza calling it in? Like I'm holding it hostage.
Not the first time, buddies and I gave a pizza guy a dab years ago. He got so stoned he left the pizza bag behind and probably shouldn't have been driving after that

The green-by-phone service, where I used to live, uses them to avoid unwanted detection when making deliveries.
Just sayin'.

They are using an intramedullary nail that's why there's no caging. Here you go:

I can understand use of this for limb length issues related to hip surgery, knee surgery, other congenital and traumatic type of anomalies but I think it's the height of hubris to use this for cosmetics (height is cosmetic), before we have 20 years of data on it's efficacy.

They are now suing and removing the 'new' hip and knee implants my generation put in that failed prematurely. So I'd wait those 20 years. However if you need an intramedullary nail it looks like a good candidate for consideration. Also I'd love to see their spinal fixators. Caging is unpleasant. I'd be curious their frequency of non-union and if they have any long term marrow issues in patients who get bilateral tibial/femoral lengthening.

Thanks for the information, it was interesting.
