Dr. Grunch & Dr. Z Launch Anatomix and Debut New Scrub Cards

If you’ve ever been on a busy neuro call shift, you know how fast things can escalate. One minute you’re catching up on charting, and the next you’re trying to recall a trauma scale during a stat consult, all while your brain is running on lots of caffeine and determination. That’s exactly why Anatomix, a new educational company co-founded by Dr. Betsy Grunch (Ladyspinedoc), Dr. Zayed Almadidy (“Dr. Z Neurosurgery” on social media), and two neurosurgical colleagues, created something the neuro world has been missing: Neurosurgery Scrub Cards.

Designed by neurosurgeons, these cards take the most-used neurological and neurosurgical scales and pack them into a durable, pocket-ready format. With them, you always have the essentials ready, even in high-pressure trauma moments.

What Are Neurosurgery Scrub Cards?

The Neurosurgery Scrub Cards are a compact set of waterproof, tear-resistant PVC cards (4.25″ × 2.5″) that clip onto your badge reel or slide easily into your scrub pocket or white coat. The set includes:

  • Hemorrhage Scales

  • Stroke Scales

  • Brain Trauma Scales

  • Spinal Trauma & Injury Scales

  • Tumors & Oncology

  • Outcome & Functional Status

  • Epilepsy & Seizures

  • Neurological Examination

Each card is designed with color-coded headings and high-contrast layouts so you can find what you need fast, especially when seconds matter.

BONUS: Every set comes with a free Anatomix badge reel! It shows off an eye-catching pink brain design with crisp white neuro lines on a black glitter background. It's retractable and has a secure alligator clip to keep your scrub cards and ID handy.

Built for Real-World Medicine

These scrub cards were crafted with actual clinical use in mind. They’re:

  • Waterproof & wipeable: essentially hospital proof 

  • Tear-resistant: long-lasting, despite daily use

  • Designed to survive OR life: including ICU rounds, call shifts, and constant disinfectant wipes

  • Clinician-created: for accuracy and practicality

In their scrub cards launch video, both Dr. Grunch and Dr. Z show off the cards together. They highlight the clean design and explain why having quick-access neuro references can make a huge difference during urgent consults and trauma evaluations.
