My patient is now three months out from a lumbar artificial disc replacement and is doing exceptionally well. He reports no pain today and even mentioned that heās back to running several miles regularlyāsomething he couldnāt do prior to surgery.
Lumbar artificial disc replacement (ADR) is designed to preserve motion at the treated level, unlike a spinal fusion which eliminates motion by permanently joining two vertebrae. By maintaining normal biomechanics and avoiding adjacent segment stress, ADR often allows for a quicker return to activity and a more natural movement pattern. In appropriate candidates, this motion-preserving approach can lead to faster recovery, less stiffness, and a higher likelihood of returning to high-level physical activityājust like weāve seen in this case.

In this raw and unfiltered episode of the WebbMD Podcast, former ENT surgeon Dr. Francis Mei Harden opens up about her decision to leave medicine just three months agoāand why it might have saved her life.
From her early days in astrophysics at Fermilab to enduring malignant residency culture, Dr. Harden takes us through the trauma, burnout, and broken systems that pushed her to the brink. We talk about physician suicide, identity loss, toxic leadership, and the unspoken culture of hazing in medical training.
This conversation is a must-watch for medical students, residents, healthcare workers, and anyone wondering what really happens behind the scenes in hospitals today!

My oldest son (14 years old) had the chance to shadow me this weekāclinic, surgeries, and even 4:30 AM wake ups for training sessions šŖš¾ Some days we didnāt get home until 8 or 9 PM.
He got a front-row seat to what the life of a surgeon really looks likeālong hours, hard work, and a deep commitment to helping others.
He asked great questions, stayed curious, and even managed to keep up with the pace. Welcome to the grind, sonā¦ this is the life of a surgeon! š

On this Doctorsā Day, I reflect not just on the title ā
but the journey it took to get here.
My mother was shot and is paralyzed due to her drug addiction.
My father joined a gang, sold/used drugs and spent time in prison.
My brother served time for armed robbery.
My sister has been incarcerated.
The odds were stacked against me.
But I chose a different path.
Today, Iām a Board-Certified Orthopedic Spine Surgeonāhelping patients regain their life back and giving hope to families like my own.
Being a doctor isnāt just what I do ā
Itās who I became in spite of everything.
Happy Doctorsā Day to all who lead with purposešš¾
