The presentation of this case study involves an exploration of the patient's journey in detail after having a traumatic wrist fracture, which is recognised as one of the most common fractures encountered daily in emergency services by junior doctors and practitioners. However, this article not only analyses the medical guidance for this type of case, but also the importance of the surgical care practitioner role in trauma and orthopaedics. All practitioners attending patients in emergency services are required to develop a good knowledge of anatomy, physiology, patient’s examination technique, classifications and consequently being aware of the possible surgical options for treatment of the fracture. They will also need to fully understand the legal implications of consent to ensure safe practice.

Object The role of residents in surgery is not clearly explained to patients. The authors undertook a study to explore the level of knowledge and anxiety in patients regarding residents' involvement in their surgery. Methods Qualitative case study methodology was used. Thirty face-to-face interviews of patients were conducted prior to elective neurosurgery. Interviews were transcribed and subjected to modified thematic analysis by 4 reviewers. The majority of patients had a postsecondary education, and there was substantial religious and ethnic diversity among them. Most underwent craniotomy for brain tumor. Results Six prominent themes arose from the analysis: 1) the level of knowledge about residents is low; 2) the level of anxiety about residents is low; 3) it is desirable for patients to meet the residents before surgery; 4) residents' educational needs are understood and supported; 5) anxiety was not increased by the interview; and 6) patients trust in the medical system. Conclusions Patients appear to be unaware of the role of residents in their surgical care but do not seem anxious about it. Trust in the medical system helps patients proceed with risky operations. Surgeons could be more forthcoming with patients about the role of residents.

The island marble butterfly (Euchloe ausonides insulanus), thought to be extinct throughout the 20th century until re-discovered on a single remote island in Puget Sound in 1998, has become the focus of a concerted protection effort to prevent its extinction. However, efforts to “restore” island marble habitat conflict with efforts to “restore” the prairie ecosystem where it lives, because of the butterfly’s use of a non-native “weedy” host plant. Through a case study of the island marble project, we examine the practice of ecological restoration as the enactment of particular norms that define which species are understood to belong in the place being restored. We contextualize this case study within ongoing debates over the value of “native” species, indicative of deep-seated uncertainties and anxieties about the role of human intervention to alter or manage landscapes and ecosystems, in the time commonly described as the “Anthropocene.” We interpret the question of “what plants and animals belong in a particular place?” as not a question of scientific truth, but a value-laden construct of environmental management in practice, and we argue for deeper reflexivity on the part of environmental scientists and managers about the social values that inform ecological restoration.
