Well, no cup today, so I thought I’d share the intro to my musculoskeletal presentation on AC joint sprains. I probably spend waaaaaay to much time making presentations, but I just love doing it ! A “FOOSH” is a fall on an outstretched hand. http://youtu.be/lMwrM2d1OZs

Help me Obi Wan Costello, you’re my only hope
Yesterday, we got to vist the “harvey lab” in Cardiopulm. Harvey is a mannequin that can simulate all sorts of heart sounds & conditions with the touch of a button, he even has palpable pulses! So, aside from that being pretty darn awesome…I was reminded of another reason (aside from all the obvious ones) that I love … Continue reading
National Student Conclave 2012
Today kicks off the National Student Conclave, a gathering of student physical therapists from across the country. This is a special touchstone for me, a year ago my classmate Amanda and I traveled out to Minnesota for the NSC 2011.

Your Outcome Measure of the Day…
…Brought to you by: C.A.I.T ! Ok, so in my bleary eyed, mid-term crazed state I appear unable to make a good portait of my classmate Cait. However, throw a PENN STATE jersey in there and you’ve got the fiercest nitany lion I know….so, I’ll just have to try a little harder on her b-day to make … Continue reading
SPT OSCE Slayer
Dr. Halvaksz insists that OSCE is not some sort of medieval terrifying monster of old, but that is sure what tackling that practical exam felt like today. However, I got through it and I think it went fairly well. So take that scary monsters, you’d better stay under my bed or I’ll get you!! OK… time for … Continue reading
Run Dumbo Run!
“I’m just trying to take one thing at a time..” Jill said. I always love my conversations with Jill, but today our two minute chat in the stairwell of Himmelfarb Library was particularly poignant. Any of my classmates will tell you the next few weeks are going to be insane. However, Jill’s wise words that harken … Continue reading

The NERVE of that nerve!
Omg, the nerve of that nerve, innervating the same muscle as me…how dare she! Actually, I learned something pretty cool today. Did you know that nerves have nerves ?! True facts! Its called the nervi nevorum. They are small fibers that innervate the sheath of larger nerves –> The NERVE of the NERVE! Woah.
