DEFENSIVE DRIVING
When I see patients who are victims of accidents, I often find myself thinking about how I might have avoided that accident. So I have slip-proof tiles in my shower. I watch where I’m going. I don’t run around my house in stocking feet. I don’t drink and drive. There are just a lot of simple things you can do to prevent the vast majority of injuries. But sometimes crazy things happen and there’s just no way to prevent an injury. Sometimes people drive into oncoming traffic…just when you least expect it…
But most automobile accidents are preventable. Obeying the three-second-rule is an easy way to prevent most of them. I responded to freelance journalist, Aaron Crowe’s query regarding defensive driving, and he quoted me in his article. Here it is…and I hope it keeps you out of trouble some day.

I'm a retired orthopedic surgeon from Austin, Texas. I practiced general orthopedic surgeon in Austin for 36 yrstd and have a pretty good idea of the things we're doing to cause pain and injury. As a competitive horseback rider, and a female athlete, I also have personal experience with injuries and the musculoskeletal problems associated with aging. I talk frankly about various conditions, and how you can prevent a lot of injuries, deal with pain and slow down the degenerative processes which will happen as we age.
