As American-born, English-speaking doctors are becoming the minority, I think all companies should openly state what percentage of ESL will be encountered in a new job and then ask 1 year of experience for each percentage of ESL; e.g. 40% ESL (the maximum I can personally tolerate) 4 years experience plus a differential in the line rate, too. What do y'all think? ...
Patient has a 3 x 2 cm laceration at s/l glabber's and nonglabber's junctions of the thumb.

I know the hallux is the big toe, but can it also be used for the thumb? The doc is doing a carpal tunnel release and CMC arthroplasty and states "this gave us very good position of the first metacarpal and *hallux* nicely in place." It is very clearly *hallu*, but sounds like it may have a T at the end. Hallut? I have never heard this and can't verify it. ...
It was explained to the patient that if in the future this should become painful, bothersome or if it becomes s/l systetically unpleasing to him, we could resect the osteophyte. Definitely does not sound like cosmetically. Thanks for any help ...
