First snowstorm of the winter here in Boston – Chilled to the bone – both physically and emotionally. Time to sit by the fire.. Ask of myself- How can I help prevent senseless killing and terror? How can I help innocent defenceless civilians from knife and gun attacks? Should we not respect life as the first and primary human right?

Dance Around the Naked Hand – with a hope for a peaceful seasonal celebration
The middle dancer is a regular X-ray of the hand turned on its “toes” to look like a dancer. The surrounding costumed hands celebrate the coming season – Christmas – and then the celebration of the New Year and a hope for sanity in the world

A Poignant Moment

The Hands Tell an Amazing Story

This painting on the Sistine chapel by Michelangelo has such poignancy in its depiction of a moment in time with a focus on the fingers of God and Adam.  If you cast your eye and open your mind to the image of God and angels you may perceive a sagittal section of the brain idepicted as a background with God’s angels embedded in the “brain”13285 hand Michelangelo fingers index finger expression God reaching out shape

Gunshot of a Young Child – Adult Issue!

The A-P examination of the hand of a young patient with unfused epiphyses reveal a gunshot injury to the hand resulting in a shattered third metacarpal of the right hand. The distal shaft of the bone is flared with a horizontal fracture through the growth plate and fractures along the long axis of the shaft. The soft tissues are swollen and some air is noted around the fracture site . This is a example of a high velocity penetration injury

Painful to Look At

This is one of the most painful X-rays of my career and it is older than 30 years. The exact history eludes me but there has been obvious traumatic injury to the handwith multiple fractures (black arrows) a transverse skin incision that contains a broad band of air (white arrow), probable debridement of the severely injured metacarpal row, and extensive pinning and wiring of the thumb following surgical trauma. The combination of the large somatic sensory nociceptor supply to the hand, together with the extensive skin, bone,and tissue damage, is difficult to perceive the extent of the pain that this poor patient went through. The remarkable feature is the maintenace of blood supply to the hand.
