The soon-to-be wikipedia example of muscle atrophy

So I had ankle surgery to fix a few things left over from a year-old snowboarding injury.

To be specific, I had arthroscopic microfracture performed to regenerate cartilage on my talus (the central bone in the ankle), and had some cartilage debris cleaned out.

I spent 3 months in a cast, and here is what my calf looked like on the day I got my cast off...

Crazy!

My Blog

Welcome to my new blog!

So this experiment is supposed to be about the random thoughts that run through my brain, the crazy encounters I have, and about the fascinating situations I run into as I move from my life as a green preclinical medical student into the demanding reality of life as a clinical medical student, through my residency training, and ultimately into medical practice as a seasoned clinician. I hope to touch on topics that interest me, events that scare me, people that amaze me, and and I hope you enjoy reading about my initiation and journey through the crazy world of health care.

Thanks,
Matt
