Welcome!
I’ve been an orthopaedic surgeon for over 25 years. I specialize in foot and ankle, but I'm interested in other areas of medicine as well. In short, I’m passionate about medicine, as well as the truth... That’s why I’ve taken to the web. I’m going to use this as a springboard to discuss real issues in medicine, and hopefully guide patients to a better experience with their medical needs. Some, namely my colleagues, may find my point of view dissenting. For that, I don’t apologize. My goal is to help the patient, not win a popularity contest. For those of you reading, I appreciate your time. If you have any issues you would like to discuss, you can post on the entries here, tweet me @angryorthopod, write on my Facebook page at Angry Orthopod or find me on Quora. -AO
