Dooley Noted: 3/18/15
Yesterday, I had the honor of lecturing to a group of about 30 OBGYN residents.
We discussed the anatomy of the pelvic floor, as it pertains to the bony and ligamentous attachments to the pelvis.
These group of residents are learning a procedure to help with urinary stress incontinence and urinary bladder prolapse.
They are working on perfecting a technique that minimizes invasion into important pelvic floor musculature and fascia, while providing the patient with maximum relief of bladder control loss.
I was inspired by these innovative doctors.
And the feeling was mutual.
Even while jetlagged and heartbroken, they still thought I was energetic and upbeat.
I thought I was running on slow motion!
They appreciated the highly descriptive anatomy and the interactive learning process.
The lecture was further evidentiary support that anatomy matters.
It will especially matter to those who will be helped by this clever and effective procedure.
Even surgeons never stop learning.
So, the next time you feel like you’ve learned enough, please remember how much more there is to discover.
Your knowledge and tenacity just may help another person out of their troubles.
As always, it’s your call.
