Tiger Country Resurrected - Episode Four: Rib Fractures
In this episode of Tiger Country, we talk to Dr. Ram Nirula, the Dr. D. Rees and Eleanor T. Jensen Presidential Endowed Chair in Surgery at the University of Utah, and we discuss rib fractures. My understanding of rib fractures has come a long way since my high school football coach taped up my thorax before sending me back out on the field - that, of course, was the city championship game against Andrew Johnson High School, in which I scored four touchdowns. In the intervening years, we've learned a tremendous amount about how frailty and fractures interact and, while our understanding has increased, fixation technology has, as well. It's all very confusing, and Dr. Nirula goes a long way in both simplifying the matter and making me not feel bad for being confused. He also has some very incorrect opinions about hockey, but we can look past that, because he's from Winnipeg, which is the home of The Weakerthans.
