During conference yesterday, I got pimped three questions in a row....handled it like a boss...

Trying to do homework on pediatric limb deformity.  This continues to be my experience...

When I try to understand hand topics...

How my head feels after studying hand mechanics...

When I was in the OR until 2AM, and there's CORE conference the next morning:

When I try to impress the attendings at hand conference...
