Mending the broken bone business

UK orthopaedic surgeon Dr Nick Birch and I had a wide-ranging conversation on the broken bone business and what it does to women’s self-concept and lifestyle choices; how practitioners should be advising and treating women at risk of fragility fractures; the loss of the art of medicine and its replacement by what can only be described as a factory model of medical education and practice; the death of informed consent; and much more.This is an interview that you’re going to want to watch several times, to pick up all the pearls of wisdom that Nick dropped. I’m sure you will agree with me that we need more doctors like Dr Nick Birch - doctors who actually care about their patients, and respect their right to make educated decisions about their own health and well-being.I’ve included links to all the articles that Nick and I discussed, and I encourage you to explore these resources to better inform and empower yourself to resist the broken bone business, in the show notes which you can access at Get full access to Empowered! at robynchuter.substack.com/subscribe
