2.13 - Setting Up Orthopedics

Sorry in advance about audio quality issues. I've just gotten a new microphone, and am still ironing out the kinks. Anyway, this week, we'll talk about orthopedics, or the study of correcting bones and muscles. It starts with George Friedrich Louis Stromeyer, who invents new procedures for correcting club foot. Over many years, Hugh Owen Thomas and his nephew, Robert Jones, would carry the torch, and invent many a technique still in use today.
