Working for the knife but by knife i mean a scalpel
New work published in Current Sports Medicine Reports for the article, Asymmetrical Thoracic Osteophytosis in Professional Golfers: Case Series and Literature Review, written by Drs. @komalnaeemjabbar and @randall_porter32 Randall of @barrowneuro The illustration depicts anterior (left) and posterior (right) views of the reverse-C posture of a golfer during golf club impact with the ball and during follow-through. The center illustration depicts osteophyte development at the midthoracic level after repetitive lateral bending and loading during the golf swing. Check out the link in my bio for more info

Out today: the first article in Dr. Michael Lawton’s 7 Cavernomas, “Recurrent brainstem cavernous malformations following primary resection: blind spots,” published in the Journal of Neurosurgery. The first image, created by me and Mark Schornak, depicts the anatomy of the blind spot: the surgical corridor comprises 1) the craniotomy; 2) a subarachnoid, cisternal, or ventricular segment; 3) a parenchymal segment; and 4) an intralesional segment. The article is currently free access.

How awesome is this? @puzzledbypaul created a handmade wooden jigsaw puzzle of my medical illustration!

Work in progress depicting the extended retrosigmoid/trans-cerebellopontine angle approach to peritrigeminal cavernous malformations (…that’s a mouthful).

I’m excited to announce that I’ll be working with @michael_t_lawton and Kristen Larson to produce Dr. Michael Lawton’s next “Seven” series: Seven Cavernomas! The series will be released as a collection of articles published in Journal of Neurosurgery @thejnspg Check out the first article of the series in the upcoming September issue of JNS, and keep an eye out for this official 7 Cavernomas logo on each of the articles. It’s a real honor to collaborate with some of the most brilliant minds in neurosurgery @barrowneuro #medicaljournal #neurosurgicalatlas #journalcover #brainscience #peerreview #medicalassistant #medstudentlife #residents #neurocirurgia #resident #medschool #generalsurgery #spinel #learningmedicine #medicalassistantlife #spinesurgery #indirect #decompression #spinehealth #posturecorrection #backpain #spinesurgery #surgicalintervention #neurologist (at Barrow Neurological Institute)

Made a few changes to some illustrations depicting the endoscopic endonasal eustachian tube anterolateral mobilization strategy. I think the addition of the skull inset with the plane of section helps add some clarity.

Work in progress depicting the transcallosal transchoroidal approach to cavernous malformations of the periaqueductal gray matter in the third ventricle. The choroid plexus is my new favorite thing to draw in photoshop. #medicaljournal #brainscience #medicalassistant #medstudentlife #neurosurgicalatlas #residents #medschool #generalsurgery #spinel #neurocirurgia #resident #learningmedicine #medicalassistantlife #peerreview #spinesurgery #indirect #spinehealth #posturecorrection #decompression #backpain #spinesurgery #surgicalintervention #journalcover #neurologist @neurocirurgiabr @neurofact (at Barrow Neurological Institute)

Combining a few different illustrations into one: lateral thoracic and lumbar approaches to the spine. Might add cervical and make it into a long, vertical poster or something. #spinesurgery #indirect #spinehealth #posturecorrection #decompression #backpain #spinesurgery #surgicalintervention #neurosurgicalatlas #residents #medschool #generalsurgery #spinel #neurocirurgia #brainscience #medicalassistant #medstudentlife #resident #learningmedicine #medicalassistantlife #peerreview #journalcover #neurologist #medicaljournal @pasion.medica @neurocirurgiabr @ctisus_radiology @viral_medical @doctormedicine_ (at Barrow Neurological Institute)

Very honored to have my work featured on the cover of @thejnspg Spine for July! These illustrations were created for the article “Predictors of indirect neural decompression in minimally invasive transpsoas lateral lumbar interbody fusion.“ Always a pleasure working with @barrowneuro’s own @thejuanuribe, Chief of Spine Surgery, and the recently graduated residents of neurosurgery, Corey Walker, MD and Jakub Godzik, MD. Also, a big thank you to Jay Turner, MD, PhD, for the kind words and framed illustration! @supportbarrow #spinesurgery #indirect #decompression #backpain #spinesurgery #surgicalintervention #neurosurgicalatlas #residents #medschool #generalsurgery #spinel #neurocirurgia #brainscience #medicalassistant #medstudentlife #resident #learningmedicine #peerreview #journalcover #neurologist #medicaljournal

The microscopes of the future are all surly and a little bit hungover.
Current mood: “Bite my shiny metal a$$“
Correcting Misconceptions
- A fever does not mean your illness is bacterial. It just means your body is fighting the illness.
- The color of your snot is not an indicator of bacterial or viral illness.
- Coughing up mucus does not necessarily mean your cold is “in your chest.” It may still be coming from your throat or sinuses.
- Antibiotic and steroid shots are rarely better than their oral counterparts. The fact that you think they work faster is placebo effect.
- You do not get the flu from your flu shot any more than you can start laying eggs after eating chicken nuggets.
- A temperature of 99.9 is not a fever. And furthermore, when did the back of mom’s hand start reading exact temperature values?How can you know the temp was 102.5 if you don’t have a thermometer?
- Toddlers are sick almost as often as they are well. They catch almost every new virus they encounter. Your kid’s one ear infection and constant runny nose does not mean they have a terrible immune deficiency. It more likely means they’re just new and haven’t met all the viruses around them yet.
OH MAN THE CHICKEN NUGGETS LINE.
Wanna know a secret?
…there are actual medical students in my class that believe you can get the flu from the flu shot…

Saving a life is a dance. A grand ballet. There’s a years-long overture building up to the opus. And then the climax. Any room at any moment can become a stage. Cheers to the healers. The life savers. The dancers.

Haven’t been here for a while now. Just a quick update: I spent the last 2 months preparing for the licensure exam. I built a study routine and I’ve been studying every day ever since. It hasn’t been easy. I don’t even know what’s after this, but I’ll just try to go through it one day at a time.
I’ve been more active in my study account in instagram. It has been amazing and I’ve found a lot of support from people everywhere. Although, I have to admit that Tumblr still feels very special to me as it contains the rest of my journey from high school to med school. This is still my safe space, and I’m glad I still have this to voice out my thoughts freely.
How is everyone? I hope you are all doing okay

Keeping this drive despite the uncertainties of the future. I don’t know when I will become a doctor, but I’ll just try everyday to work towards that.
