There Is No Room for Partisanship in Orthopaedics

David A. Halsey, MD

Given the recent midterm elections and the upcoming presidential election in 2020, it is difficult to avoid political rhetoric and ignore the general population’s growing displeasure, regardless of your party affiliation. Mass media are zeroed in on topics calling for bipartisanship and challenging one-sided policies and divisiveness in general. Don’t worry; I’m not going to weigh in on the current state of U.S. politics, but I do see some similarities—both good and bad—with orthopaedics.
