What? How Nicki lost her hearing?: Basilar Skull Fractures 10/30/2018 Being that it's my first year of residency, I was not expecting to have the Friday before Halloween off. In a last minute scramble to come up with a costume, I whipped together a spooky skeleton makeup design--which ultimately inspired me to write about an important topic in emergency medicine: basilar skull fractures!! Those of you who know me personally have probably dealt with a few communication struggles thanks to hearing loss I sustained years ago from a head injury of my own.
