TWO THINGS MY INJURY TAUGHT ME THIS YEAR: 1. Health is wealth, truly. 2. When working on your rank list for a residency/fellowship… choose a program where the people genuinely care about each other. I injured my hip in late August, but didn’t get it checked out … it thinking it was a muscle strain… I traveled to Kenya, had a little bit of pain, but when I returned, I got so bad that I started limping while on-call one day… and the pain made me realize that something was actually really wrong and my MRI confirmed a labral tear. . I text my friends who refer me to a private Ortho in the area who could see me in 24 hours, however, they didn’t take my insurance and… I’m on a fellow’s salary y’all😭 . After jumping through hoops to get a referral to Ortho in-network, they tell me they’ll see me in 12 WEEKS 💀 so, I call my program director on a Saturday 🥹 and she’s able to get me an appointment with theeeee head of orthopedic surgery two weeks later 🙏🏾 . Turns out my labral tear …altho...
