Patient Corner
|  "Dr. Norris,
Biked today for first time since shoulder surgeries. Muir Woods Loop--15 miles, 1500 vertical feet. At Four Corners temp was 53, wind 25 mph and fog so thick you couldn't see the bikers on the other side of the road. Photo is from Green Gulch Farm. All summed up, a fantastic ride. Great to be on the mountain again."
--Dr. Neil Smithline |

Patient Corner
|  "My son had a very bad fall jumping off the couch, which resulted in a bone fracture on his left elbow. It was a very stressful situation for both my son and us parents. Dr. Schrumpf made it easy for us to understand his condition and what kind of treatment our son needed. From the surgery, follow ups and removing his cast, Dr. Schrumpf performed excellent treatment. Thank you so much!"
--Anna and Elmer Rayos

Opening Rush to Insurance Markets
Runs Into Snags
By ABBY GOODNOUGH, ROBERT PEAR and RICHARD PÉREZ-PEÑA - for the New York Times
Millions of Americans visited new online health insurance exchanges as enrollment opened on Tuesday, suggesting a broad national appetite for the affordable coverage that President Obama has promised with his health care law. But many people quickly encountered technological problems that prevented them from getting rates, comparing health plans or signing up.
Federal and state officials said that while they knew there was pent-up demand for health coverage, the number of visits to their exchanges was greater than anticipated. Federal officials said more than 2.8 million people had visited HealthCare.gov, the federally run exchange that serves residents of more than 30 states, though the figure would include those who received error messages. State-run exchanges also reported higher-than-expected use, including several million visits to New York's Web site.

Holiday Hand Safety 101: Hand Surgeons Offer Tips for a Safe Carving Season
Nothing says "Thanksgiving" like football, family and the enticing aromas of turkey, stuffing, yams and pumpkin pie. But no matter what's included in a Thanksgiving spread, one dish nobody anticipates is a hand injury. This holiday season, the American Society for Surgery of the Hand cautions carvers to take steps to carve the main course and not their own hands.
Every year during Thanksgiving, and throughout the holiday season, people sustain hand injuries while preparing their holiday feast. From cutting open pumpkins
 to carving the mouthwatering centerpiece, hand injuries are all too common. Fortunately, these injuries are avoidable. According to Reid Abrams, MD, a member of the American Society for Surgery of the Hand, holiday hand injuries are not exclusively linked to carving turkeys, hams, and roasts. "Many hand injuries also occur during post-meal clean-up," says Abrams. "Care needs to be taken when washing dishes-particularly soap-covered, slippery glasses. I've also treated many tendon and nerve injuries that were caused by crystal breaking while washing glasses by hand." Don't let your turkey day celebrations go fowl this year because of a hand injury. Read Full Article
