In this episode, Mary Carnduff, MD, MBA, FAAOS, joins host Ellen Lutnick, MD, to talk about common occupational exposures orthopaedic surgeons face, including some you may not be aware of.
Dr. Carnduff walks through radiation, chemical, infectious disease, and noise exposure. She explains how these exposures can affect long-term health and career longevity and offers advice on what early-career orthopaedic surgeons should be doing now to protect themselves from cancer and other potentially serious issues.
What's actually in surgical smoke (you may be shocked)? Why should you wear EyePro and EarPro in the OR? If you stick yourself, what's the risk of HIV, HPV, and hepatitis transmission? Listen to get answers to these and other important questions.
