Dr. Carol and Kim Pittis discuss Kim's new clinic work with an unusually outcome-focused orthopedic surgeon and the importance of tracking "end results" in patient care, referencing Dr. Codman's philosophy and how managed care shifted medicine away from long-term follow-up. They explore perioperative gaps, emphasizing prehab, patient empowerment, sleep, protein and vitamin C, and using FSM to address fear, stress, pain, and recovery, including early post-op use with electrodes or magnetic pucks. They answer questions about latent TB exposure and knee "bone on bone" pain (noting MRI for cartilage/meniscus assessment and published cartilage-thickness papers), postpartum healing with EDS and wound healing, topical melatonin in DMSO/emu oil, and rethinking "dehydrated" nervous tissue as inflammation/secretions issues. They share an animal success story, discuss why FSM spreads via reproducible results and training, and mention upcoming dentistry and Switzerland presentations.
