Today, I had the honor of working with Dr. Kevin Logel and his team: Dr. Josie, his Physician Assistant, and Shewana. I became acquainted with many things pertaining to the orthopedics of the foot and ankle. Dr. Logel showed me many X-rays ranging from broken calcaneus’ (heel bone) to arthritis of the metatarsals. The patients ages ranged from middle school to nearly centennials, and I also got the opportunity to meet a professional athlete. An interesting thing that I found was that many of the repairs that he’s done consisted of screws and, in one case, a rode being put in place. Additionally, he showed me how at the end of everyday, he must record dictations for each patient. The quality of the doctor’s dictations is dependent on the amount of insurance coverage that the patient receives. Additionally, they go down into medical records for other doctor’s to get inspiration for a different technique possibly used. One of the neatest things that I saw today were the results of an arthroscopy which is a laparoscopic surgery that goes through the joints and shaves off excess cartilage and scar tissue. Unfortunately, I could not take pictures due to patient confidentiality. Nevertheless, I look forward to working with Dr. Summers and Dr. Wood tomorrow at Wake Orthopedics.
