Video Transcription
I’m Dr. Mark Holm, and I’m a hand and upper extremities surgeon with Summit Orthopedics. In the winter months, of course, in Minnesota, the slip-and-fall injury is the most common thing from November until through March. And from the elderly person slipping and falling on the ice going out to church, or the young teenager who’s snowboarding over at Buck Hill. So one way or another, it’s a wrist fracture in the wintertime is the most common thing. I like to stay active. I bike, I do some running, weightlifting. So I like to keep, stay fit if I can. I enjoy playing the piano and the keyboard. That takes some time. And some of my patients are musicians as well, so that provides a common link there. You like someone who’s motivated to get better. They aren’t there just to complain about their aches and pains; they’ve got a specific problem that’s impacting their life and preventing them from doing something. And they would really like to get back to being able to do that activity again. And so those patients are fun to work with, especially if they’re motivated and they have a sense of humor. I’ve got a lot of patients like that.
