Show Notes
What happens when an army officer swaps boots for a scalpel? In this episode, we sit down with Lieutenant Colonel Andy Mattin, an Australian Army OFFICER and orthopaedic surgeon. We cover his path from army life to medical school, the reality of becoming an orthopaedic surgeon, and the surprising parallels between the two—because in both, damage control is just part of the job. As always told with our special blend of truth, exaggeration and a large smothering of hilarious stories that have got us here. Thanks to i-Med Radiology for sponsoring the podcast.
