Inconsistent topics and focus

Topics are infrequently about improving the care of patients. Recent focus on equity and inclusion is another manifestation of social justice warriors taking over the practice of medicine and orthopedics. The problem is worse in Canada. Let’s focus on helping everyone get better and improving the care of patients through thoughtfully executed surgery. JBJS podcasts should focus on science and data instead of controversial social issues.
