I am preparing for a pancarpal arthrodesis scheduled for tomorrow. I’m refreshing my mind on the anatomy of the carpus, remembering extension angles, and learning new information about types of plates and surgical technique.

When I came across an article today about an endangered species of salamander that lives in my own home state of […]
Something not a lot of people know about me is that I really love amphibians. Especially axolotls. For those that don’t know, an axolotl is basically a fully aquatic salamander. Axolotls are neotenic, which means they never grow up! They spend their entire life looking like the larval stage of a true salamander. They can […]
I was originally going to include this in my Pets and Houseplants post, but there is just SO much to learn about toxic plants that this deserves its own feature. I was on a trail ride a few weeks back, and my gelding Rocky was trying to munch on some tree leaves that we were […]
