By Jennifer Wozniczka, MD I would remind my younger self that those struggles in your life, big and small, result in the greatest growth. I’ve struggled to repair a flat tire on my bike only to have it pop again the next day. I’ve experimented with many plants in my garden that never grow. I’ve […]
By Stewart Campbell, MD Infection after total elbow replacement (TER) is a particularly serious complication that can be devastating for the patient and will test the stamina of patient and treating surgeon alike. Having been down that road a few times, I would like to share my experience in prevention. 1. Patients with inflammatory arthritis […]
By Alvaro Baik Cho, MD, PhD My name is Alvaro Baik Cho and I’m from São Paulo, Brazil. Outside my practice, I’m pretty much an average guy with family, friends and hobbies. I have been married for 13 years and I have a 10-year-old girl and a 6-year-old boy. I am a man of faith […]
By Lorraine K. Doyle, MD In this present atmosphere of micromanagement and ridiculous regulations, I escape to the outdoors, and I canoe.

By Dana LaVanture, MD, FACS I sit in our camp in the middle of the woods, miles from the nearest road. I’m relaxing now after hiking a mountain that afforded a scenic view of lakes and the Adirondacks High Peaks Wilderness. If only I had brought a guitar to share my soul language of music […]
By Roger E. Salisbury, MD, FACS I retired in 2008, after 46 years in Medicine. My career was a blessing and directing Burn Centers, performing hand surgery and overseeing a division of Plastic Surgery in a Medical School provided magnificent challenges, joys and sadness. Medicine, however, never totally defined me. I have also had a […]
By Seung-Han Shin, MD, PhD I have three kids from my wife. And recently I’ve got my fourth…from an EGG! It (we still are not sure whether it is a boy or a girl) came out from a fertile chicken egg, after 21 days in a home incubator. It’s absolutely cute, and the other three […]
