I have a google number that rings on my cell phone. I give it to every postop. If my phone rings on the google voice number, I know it’s a patient. If I don’t answer, google transcribes message and texts it. Patients feel like they have 24/7 access and they rarely use it.

It shouldn’t be. Just need to find the right mentor with something actively going on you’re interested in. You have a pretty big reach. Just ask orthotwitter spine folks who needs a medical student to help with research that can be done remotely. You’ll get a few hits!

In residency, had an open tibia from sub-Saharan Africa. Took bus to Johannesburg and was placed in long leg cast. Then flew to NY and took cab to the ED. Showed up post injury day 7. No abx. Tibia was well aligned. Took off cast. Skin was healed. Put cast back on.
