    Fun fact:
    Orthopedics = Orthopaedics
    Orthopaedics - traditional English spelling used more in academic settings (so you'll see that spelling in the hospitals and departments)
    Orthopedics - more Americanized spelling
    Both can be used interchangeably! Not that I had to look that up while editing this video....

    dear, Dr. Agochukwu. after watching this interview as a first year student in college hoping to be an orthopedic surgeon, you are an inspiration. not only your knowledge but your attitude and passion for ortho inspires me to continue my path. thank you for accepting this interview and thank you to ND MD for making this interview possible.
