Show Notes
Dr Simon Smith and Dr Harry Stock join us for a chat about life as orthopaedic surgeons in the South West of Western Australia.
We get into what it’s really like working in the bush, the challenges and rewards of practising away from the big city, and how they’ve developed an impressive short-stay arthroplasty unit.
We also talk unicompartmental knee replacements, why they’ve built such a great following for the procedure, and what makes their approach work.
As always, As told with our special blend of the truth, exaggeration and a large smothering of hilarious stories that have got us here..
