Video Transcription
Hello. I’m Dr. Jack Drogt. I’m with Summit Orthopedics. I specialize in hip and knee reconstruction. I typically see patients who are in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s, patients who come with hip and knee pain. They’re looking for answers, they’re looking for solutions and options, and they’re looking for a recommendation. The orthopedic part of it, the surgical part of it, to me, is relatively straightforward. What makes this field so fascinating is that every patient, every individual is just that, is an individual, is a different person who has different expectations and different need and different wants. And that’s what makes the whole field of medicine that much more fascinating. It’s dealing with people – and dealing with what it is they need, they want, what they want and their expectations, and trying to address that. And it’s not always easy. Outside of work, my family is my priority. So I spend a lot of time with my family. We play tennis, we ski; I like to garden. I do run and bike, and I’ve done some triathlons and probably will do it again. Those are the things I enjoy doing. Every day I come to work is a great day for me. I’m a very lucky person that way. I am fortunate enough to be able to do what it is I’m able to do. To be able to have the trust to look after one’s, another person’s best interest, to be able to be entrusted with their well-being, let alone their life, is a great responsibility, and one which I think makes me want to be a better person, wants me to be a better physician, and wants me to do everything I can to meet another person’s expectations.
