 I feel like I've known since I was probably in high school, even maybe middle school. I wanted to be an orthopedic surgeon before I wanted to be a doctor in medicine in general. I had my own injury with a shoulder. I went to see a surgeon. The thought of mixing the technology with the anatomy and that just really inspired something in me. You know I think it was with football in the training room, watching the trainers and watching my teammates and my guys rehab and wanting to go over there and kind of walk them through it or encourage them through it and teach them through it. I think just watching people wanting to get back to the activities that they love. What really brought me to orthopedics was improving the patient's quality of life, not just quantity of life. What counts to me is finding a passion and a purpose in life. For me that purpose is helping and serving people. Hope Schenebeck, he inspired us and he always just said do what's right. It sounds so simple but it's something that resonates with me every day, especially in medicine, just do what's right. When you're on call every night and you're sleeping at the hospital and you're getting woken up by the pager, you just find ways to power through it. It's one of those things when you do what you're passionate about and you wake up every day fulfilling your passion it's easy. I'm TJ Ridley and I'm Auguste.
