>> I mean is there a favorite part?
I mean being in the operating room is always a beautiful thing because of the challenge,
the education that you're embarking or imparting upon the residents, the results,
the patient's satisfaction, but my career has been so well diversified
that education is tantamount to me.
I teach a course at the college in biomechanics understanding how the foot functions related
to the rest of the body.
As I have stated, I've lectured all over the world and have had an excellent opportunity
to share experience that I've gained
over the years teaching surgical procedures that I've developed, research.
So it's a diversified I guess career that I've enjoyed,
and I don't think I could have had it in any other profession.
I think running a practice, personal relationships, interpersonal relationships
with employees, overhead expenses, marketing, promotion, the everyday running of a practice,
which takes you away from how you are trained scientifically, academically and certainly
from a surgical standpoint and now you've got to run a business.
And some people do it better than others obviously, and I've been fortunate
to hire good people who have enabled me to run the business end
with minimal involvement of my own time.
