FL Visits Down Under with Drs. Fran Williamson & Cate Cameron

Welcome to FractureLine: the official weekly news feed from the Chest Wall Injury Society, where we will listen to all the bottom-line CWIS updates, shout-outs, fun facts, and weekly banter!

This week's episode welcomes back the team, including SarahAnn Whitbeck, Dr. White, Dr. Bauman, & Dr. Mark Kryskow. We welcome first-time FractureLine guests and soon-to-be-members (hopefully): Drs. Cate Cameron (Jamieson Trauma Institute, Metro North Health, Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital, Herston, QLD, Australia) & Fran Williamson (Trauma Service, Metro North Health, Royal Brisbane & Women’s Hospital, Herston, QLD, Australia) to discuss their hot off-the-press article "Community opioid dispensing after rib fracture injuries: CODI study." Their study took place as a retrospective look at their community between 2014 and 2015 and has brought many interesting trends/findings to light. We also discussed proper etiquette for the gift-giving season and so much more!

It is a holly-jolly time! 

We also continue with the Summit reflections, and this week, we will be joined by Dr. Ron Gross, CWIS stalwart and deservedly retired Luminary of the Chest Wall Injury Society!
