News from the Bone Guy in Buckeye-land

My day started at 6AM and ended about 6:30PM. So I started at the Children's Hospital in Columbus and I had to do some computer training to get up to speed. There are three different programs alone for this place!


I reduced my first both bone forearm fracture and molded the cast! The patient was a five year old that fell off the monkey bars. The attending gave his approval of my casting technique and the post reduction film didn't look half bad. I was pretty happy with that. Here's the fracture:

Okay, that was Fido's both bone fore-leg fracture...you know the HIPPA thing...but, the one I did looked pretty similar. You can call me OVS V (osteopathic vetrinary student, year 5!) now.

That was only the beginning. We saw a septic hip, supracondylar fracture and more.

I've learned a few things: Don't let kids play on monkey bars, trampolines, ride bikes...or bulls!



Bone guy is out!
