Physician, heal thyself



Today I had my musculoskeletal workshop (basically, reviewing how to do a msculoskeletal exam on a patient). It starts getting pretty depressing when you realize you'd had/ have nearly every single major musculoskeletal/ joint problem on the list, and you're not even a quarter of a centery old yet! knee arthritis?/ Check. Shoulder tendonitis/ rotator cuff problems? Yep. Messed up ankle, back pain (hurt on a toilet seat!!), carpal tunnel syndrome (thanks to crappy pipetter), tennis elbow (from tapping out thousands of cell on a clicker)...

Quite frankly, the only thing that didn't make me wince in recognition was the hip rotation exam... yeah, I'm feeling old. ;-)

I'm starting to feel the same way about GI disorders. I'm astonished that I still have my appendix…
