Please.

I wear whoops.

I wear a CGM and a whoop.

But I think women assume that it's our burden because we assume that if we can't conceive, it's just us or something.

But I think I heard you say this.

It's a two-way street, and the issue is not always the woman.

A high percentage of the time, it's her partner.

And so I don't think we absorb that information up front either until we start investigating it.

But—

I'm in awe of this story that four of your residents got pregnant immediately because in orthopedics that does not happen.

Every orthopedic surgeon in my generation that I know, if we got pregnant, we miscarried.

And maybe that was lifestyle.

And maybe that was not eating for 40 hours.

Maybe it's all the radiation that we undertake.

I think it's better now for the younger generation.

And we, as the—I'm not that old, but I am older than the current residents—we encourage all of them.

If you are not partnered and wanting to have a child now, then please consider freezing your eggs if that's a goal.

Because we can't predict our futures and our residencies extend into our 40s.

Hearing you talk about that is very interesting to me because in other parts of medicine,

In my own medicine, right, we were talking outside about how I now do knee surgery through needles.
