Transcript

I thought dumbbells here, welcome to the Podiatry management minute. This is something I know that everyone does but just a reminder, maybe for some of the young doctors that are out there, something that really helps me with my staff is when I use wire to Mark the x-rays. So this is an example inside of my inside of my drawers. We have these little pieces of wire here, so you can get these

at any hardware store. We put them in a little circle, and then we put them when we're getting x-rays.

So many times, we have patients that come in, and they might not want to do an x-ray for an excess ptosis between The toes or a very big callus on the plantar aspect of the foot, doing it with the metal on, it helps us to see what's causing it. What part is causing it and more importantly it makes it easier for us to explain this to our patient like that is the reason that's where it's hurting. You, that's where I'm going to shave down the bone.

But using a little piece of wire to mark, it makes it much much easier. And when you're showing them on the x-rays, it just kind of drives everything home to them. So, let me know what your thoughts put in the comments underneath it. Please like this video, if you liked it, subscribe to the Channel. And then share, there's a link underneath, share your own tip and let me know what works for you and your practice that I

haven't talked about. That might help the other doctors that are listening to this, okay?
