“Write what you know” is perhaps the most repeated advice given to prospective authors. Physicians know medicine and are uniquely qualified to write medical fiction.

The relationship between physical therapy (PT) and recovery from surgery is complicated; whether there is a need for it after surgery is informed by several factors such as age, type of surgery and type of PT. Many types of surgery don’t need PT after at all, in fact. The need is larger when the surgery affects the musculoskeletal system in particular.

In lung ultrasound, air bronchograms (indicated by yellow arrows in the video) occur when segments of the bronchial tree remain patent (filled with anechoic air) amid the surrounding consolidated, echogenic lung tissue. These adjacent alveoli could be collapsed as in atelectasis, filled with inflammatory exudates as in pneumonia, damaged in ARDS, etc.
