Setup · for colleagues
Set up the notes, the AIs, and a video someone else can follow.
Short answer first. Then the setup, in the order you would actually do it on a weekend off. The glasses and the travel stories stay on Travel Tech.
Questions that show up first
- Can I paste an operative note into Claude or ChatGPT? Not if it still identifies a patient. Rewrite the lesson with the chart closed, then paste that.
- Where should the vault live on my computer? On the machine where you write, in a folder you chose, not on a hospital shared drive and not inside a cloud folder until you have decided the vault is clean.
- Which plugins should I install on day one? No community plugins. Turn on Templates, File recovery, Outline, Backlinks, and Canvas. Learn the quick switcher.
- What folders should a surgeon's vault have? Inbox, practice, research, teaching, AI notes, admin, templates, assets, archive. Number the top level so the sort never depends on clever names.
- What resolution and format should I export for my site? MP4, H.264, 1920×1080, frame rate matched to the source, about 10 Mbps, AAC audio if you narrated.
- Resolve, CapCut, Final Cut, or iMovie? DaVinci Resolve if you will do this more than twice. The editor you already know if a deadline is tonight. Not a cloud app with an identifiable file.
Four chapters
- 01 Obsidian 25 min Install it, point it at one teaching vault, and turn on four switches. Theme shopping is how the weekend disappears.
- 02 The vault 40 min Two vaults, not one. A short tree. Notes named like a person talks. The teaching vault is what you can show a colleague or a model.
- 03 The AIs 35 min The first question is not which model is best. It is whether this text is allowed to leave the machine in front of you.
- 04 Surgical video 45 min A teaching clip is a decision, not a recording of the case. Consent and a clean frame come before any editor.
