Sound Off: Fasting during Ramadan as an Orthopaedic Surgeon

I was optimistic for this year’s fast—it was April, the temperature outside was still mild, and the days weren’t super long. I soon realized that over the course of the month, the period between dawn and dusk would increase to close to 15 hours long. This was going to be a challenge, I thought.
