About this episode

This is the First Bleep SHO Series — same patient as Episode 02A, completely different job. In this episode: how to present a fracture in trauma meeting in under thirty seconds and actually sound like you know what you're doing. Weber classification and why it matters for surgical planning. What to cover when consenting for ORIF — including the honest conversation about returning to sport. Post-operative ward round essentials, compartment syndrome red flags, and the discharge planning that stops the readmission. SHO Series — for the doctor who owns the patient after the emergency is over.
