Ignorance is risky.
Born and raised in Peru 🇵🇪.
MD, future neurosurgeon.
Coming from a third-world country, I cannot assimilate that you can be a product of the US education system.
Most third-world migrants can not assimilate into civil societies.
Prove me wrong.

@SamSpellicy
Get it out of the way as soon as you can if you took step 2 recently. It’s just more efficient since knowledge is still fresh (you won’t need as much dedicated time to study). However, if your program can pay for it then definitely take it during intern year.

Restoring lumbar lordosis one patient at a time!
Many alternative medicine treatments are rooted in vitalism: the belief in a magical energy force that cannot be scientifically measured and needs to be “balanced.”
Think energy healing and reiki.
Here’s one of the newest flavors: “Spinal Energetics.”
