Thought it may help if people posted things they were pimped on at their aways this past season. Anything program specific (ie this attending loves to ask about this, etc) would be great. Gluck to everyone.

I was frequently asked "what's this?" (attending/resident points to structure). 😀

Know anatomy. You won't be expected to know what surgery to offer or medicine questions.
 
Any place there are compartments with different structures is a good thing to know. Basically everything I got pimped on was in ortho secrets.
 
Different edition then the one I had (got from library), but yes.
 
What are the seventeen muscles that attach to the scapula?

XD Don't forget the omohyoid.
 
write out as many as you can remember then google is your friend.
 
I count 18. Dont forget that Lat will grab an attachment on the inferior angle on its way by.
 
By the way, you can read of lot of Ortho Secrets on Google books here and you can read parts of Hoppenfeld's here.
 
who invented the toilet - thomas crapper (debated)
why is there a U shape in sinks - to keep sewer gases out
where is the arrow in the FedEx logo - between the E and the x
why do planes use landing flaps - inc camber of wing for more lift at low speed

these and many more completely random facts were much of what i got pimped on in the OR on one of my rotations

Awesome pimp questions!
I got asked some interesting q's from some interesting ortho/spine/hand guys:

'what causes an engine to change timing'
'What is the timing on an 89 mustang?'
'How do anti-fog coatings work'
'I have an 9x Durango that I have to add a quart of oil every 1000 miles-where is it going?'
