Slice of Piefer - 030 - Subtroch Femur Nightmares, Pig Stickers & Mayonnaise Mayhem

Dr. Jason Piefer and Taylar dish on a "slice of humble pie" from a challenging subtrochanteric femur fracture case—F-tool on standby, pig sticker drama, knife-on-a-stick incisions, and why these nails can turn a "quick" case into hours of wrestling bone fragments. They swap stories from clinic (talking patients out/in of surgery, debunking internet myths), on-call surprises (fight bites, gunshot wounds, compartment syndrome), and the chaos of trauma life. Plus, light-hearted chaos: patient eggs as gifts (Amish bartering goats?), mayonnaise pronunciation battles ("man-aze"?), dad jokes, Kit-Kat breaks, and ideas for shorter "many/manny" episodes. Real surgeons, real laughs, real medicine. Catch us at the Aspire event Tuesday! Suggestions for format changes welcome.
