He was a foot & ankle surgeon for 30+ years.
Then he started noticing patterns:
• Patients struggling after metal implants.
• Symptoms that didn’t fully make sense.
• Cases that stuck with him.
That curiosity led him into metal hypersensitivity…
Then it got personal.
After open heart surgery (with a known nickel sensitivity), he experienced:
• Severe, unexplained symptoms.
• Episodes that changed his ability
to practice.
• A forced, sudden retirement.
A follow-up surgery revealed:
• Multiple implanted clips & materials
he didn’t know were there.
• Careful removal with hypersensitivity
in mind.
This episode is NOT about blame.
It’s about awareness, patterns, and asking better questions.
🎧 This one hits different.
