Good morning. Welcome to week 8 of my paternity leave from the newsletter.
By 2 months, if all is going well, my newborn should be starting to notice their own hands.
"Whoaaaa, what are these sweet things for?!"
Please enjoy another of my top 20 most popular articles on tap this week, this time covering all you need to know about avoiding the most common hand injuries I see week in and week out.

X-RAY OF THE WEEK
I'm guessing many of you remember the TV show "Friends" and the charming naming convention they used for each episode.
If the above x-ray were a Friends episode, it would be "The one with the firearm that discharges while watching a YouTube video how about how to clean the firearm."
Sadly, this finger's contract was not renewed for another season.

IF YOU'RE HURTING, I CAN HELP
Your Guide: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
This is my masterclass on carpal tunnel syndrome. In this short book, I share everything you ever wanted to know about numb hands and how to fix them.
It's more education than the average visit to a specialist — for less than the average co-pay.
