You've obviously got a frozen shoulder.

Let me give you an injection, send you to therapy, blah, blah, blah.

I miss the whole picture and I'm not taking care of the whole person.

And so for me, my style of orthopedic surgery is taking care of the whole person.

So we're talking about how the fact they're not sleeping.

they're anxious, they've never been anxious, but all of a sudden they feel different.

And within five minutes, Gary, of starting a whole person approach to the frozen shoulder, these women are crying in my office.

And it's not because I'm the meanest doctor they've ever seen, it's because finally, finally, they feel heard and seen.

And it's so hard.

And almost to a woman, Gary,

and men say this to me too, because I take care of both men and women, but people will say to me, but you know what?

I have a very high pain tolerance because there seems to be some badge of honor that is handed out on the, oh, I've got a, they say, I have a very high pain tolerance and I thought I could do this.

I didn't want to come.

But the reality is people wait and wait and wait and suffer when we could have intervened really early.

And so I think that's why coming in with a frozen shoulder, treating someone like a whole person and not a body part, they are quickly telling me about how they really feel and crying sometimes.

I feel like that is the way people deserve to be treated as not a sum of body parts, whether it's your liver, your pancreas or your heart or your shoulder.

I want people to understand the biology of what's going on.

Well, do you mind if we start back?

Why does this even happen?

So I think the fascinating almost legendary thing that happens when you birth a female baby, a baby with XX chromosomes is housed within her eggs, her ovary, her ovaries are all the eggs she will ever have.
