What this Quote Means to Me

My whole medical career has been avoiding the majority. In orthopedic care, that’s turned out to be a good place to be. That lead me to regenerative medicine and questioning everything I was taught. That lead to engineering a real paradigm shift. Getting employers to cover this stuff was next and now the job is to continue to expand that coverage. Right now I’m still on the side of the minority, so we’re good. However, at some point, once every person in America and elsewhere can have access to these game-changing procedures and they become the standard of care, I’ll be on the side of the majority, and then it’s time to pause and reflect! Thankfully, there’s still work to do.

Have a great week and I hope you enjoy the blogs I have scheduled!
