“Drivers can’t see them very well because of their low profile and small size.”

You can’t drive on a downtown street in Austin, without seeing these cute little scooters speeding along the shoulder, or parked on the sidewalk. The injuries I see in the office are a stark reminder of the potential dangers of this increasingly popular means of transportation. So, of course…when they asked, I had something to say:

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.
