WILTIMS #47: Candy and ice cream!

Today we had our last radiology conference until our 4th year radiology rotation. We love this professor, in part because she's nice and enthusiastic and in part because she bribes us with candy, so it was a bittersweet day.

Continuing with the treating of medical student like kindergarteners, we split into teams to try to diagnose bone fractures. Our professor is a big sports nut, so our team names were the Giants, Jets, Bills and, for lack of another NY football team, Team USA. Eli Manning and the foundering Giants were a frequent target for jokes, especially given the number of jerseys in the crowd from fans hoping for a win tonight. 

TIL: A slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) fracture is a Salter-Harris type 1 fracture through the physis of the head of the femur. Sorry, it's fun to do the jargon every once and a while. So, there is way to break your leg at the hip joint where the top of the leg bone slips off it's base. In fact, it's sometimes called an ice cream cone fracture because on x-ray it looks like someone's ice cream is about to fall off the cone.
