After finishing our big kyphoscoliosis reconstruction around 1:30, I talked to very thankful husband, grabbed quick lunch, then saw 12 yo girl in clinic w scoliosis which has progressed frome 26 to 44 degrees in 6 months. Nice family from Wilmington NC.
After that, I went back over to OR, where we just helped this man with severe leg clumsiness with a minimally invasive lumbar decompression laminectomy. You can see the severe stenosis on the mri above.
A very good day.

How can we care for scoliosis and kyphosis and spondylolisthesis better with conservative care like physical therapy, high-tech scoliosis braces, exercise and other techniques? What can be done to improve surgical care, and understand choices for surgery, learning from those around the world? How can we learn from aviation and from Deming's principles of "Standard Work" to constantly improve spine and all healthcare?
