一个庆祝的采访 Dr. 约翰·佛利他是澳门博彩试玩送彩金的整形外科医生.
你能自我介绍一下吗??
我是博士。. 福利和我是一名整形外科医生.
How did you first hear about our community, and Plumas District Hospital?
好吧, when I started full time practice in Truckee in 1996 there were already 4 orthopedic surgeons there, and I knew that getting a foothold in practice was going to be slow. 所以，我在偏远的社区寻求治疗. 我从复活节Plumas县(EPHC)的半天开始。, and then we would drive to Plumas District Hospital during lunch and do a half day in the afternoon. Me and Lori, my assisting nurse, began doing that in October of 1996. 自1996年以来，澳门博彩开户送彩金每周都来这里.
是什么吸引你来澳门博彩开户送彩金社区提供护理?
有很多事情. 专业方面，澳门博彩开户送彩金这里有大学. (羽毛河社区学院). 我的副专业是运动医学认证, so this provided me with a good opportunity to keep in contact with a college team here in Quincy. Truckee does not have a local college, only high school and local ski teams. So the college brought more diversity into my practice with the multiple sport situation. Through that I was able to see more of the classic, active college sports medicine injuries. 同时，这里对矫形术的需求也很大. 当我搬到这里来的时候. Nickel was practicing, but he was not doing joint replacements. 几年后，Dr. Nickel began to taper back his services at PDH so that I could begin to rotate in. Quincy and Portola had a large aging population with joint replacement needs. So this opportunity in Quincy and Portola offered more diversity in orthopedic practice. Truckee did not have as many older patients with joint replacement needs. This also further established connections and direct referrals with Tahoe Forest for joint replacement surgeries.
你喜欢昆西地区的什么地方?
Oh, I think this is Truckee 25 years ago, without the ski resorts. 在一般情况下, 我喜欢这所大学, and I like the fact that with a motivated population there are a host of good opportunities for the youth here in terms of a quick introduction into a college education, with the connection between the schools and Feather River College. I also like the fact that this is the seat of Plumas County. The mill is here, the forest service is here, the county jail is here. 这些东西使昆西成为普拉马斯县的一站式商店. I like that in terms of the diversity of practice and the community.
你一直在塔霍湖和昆西之间往返, 二十六年了, 在所有季节, 包括雪和雨. Can you describe a close call that you had during one of your commutes?
澳门博彩开户送彩金, 我的助理护士洛莉, 一个医学院学生, were in a severe car accident when commuting here one time. 洛莉摔断了背, 那个医学生摔断了脚踝, 我的手指脱臼了, 另一辆车里的人有严重的骨损伤. I had also lost my dog for many months, who was in the car at the time of the accident. This was a pet therapy dog named “Jack” who would come and sit and greet patients in Dr. Schad办公室. 那条狗是一只小猎犬的混血儿. 在事故发生的时候, 天很黑, 那是夜晚, 当时正在下雪, 那只狗在车祸后跑掉了. Remember, this is a small terrier mix in the middle of a February snow storm. We had so many search parties from the Truckee and Tahoe area searching for this dog for days on end. 大约五天后, 我接到一个摩托雪橇的电话, 它几乎在荒无人烟的地方, 他们找到了那只狗! 他们把它还给了狗，狗又过了许多好日子. 那是一场毁灭性的事故, 对相关人员造成了毁灭性的后果, but also there was this little silver lining with the dog that made it back home.
How would you describe what you do to someone who is unfamiliar with Orthopedics?
My profession deals with the skeleton and the muscles that help move the skeleton. 澳门博彩开户送彩金的工作有伤病, 或关节炎, 或者退行性变化, 或者是肌肉骨骼系统的创伤.
Any of the bones that you break for the most part that are in your extremities. Those are the ones that we would work to help you through the healing process whether they need to be fixed or casted. 撕裂的韧带、肌肉或肌腱. 澳门博彩开户送彩金也会计算并修正它们. We treat pinched nerves that are in the extremities, but not the spine. 运动损伤, 创伤性损伤, 退行性疾病，如关节炎, or aging issues that occur with muscles and bones are also things we work with.
Out of all the disciplines in medicine, what drew you to practice Orthopedics?
那是我的兴趣所在. I had a sports background in college and a lot of sports individuals find common ground with treating the musculoskeletal system. I was fortunate to get into the sub-specialty of orthopedics because it is highly competitive today. 它也符合我的个性. In orthopedics, we fix people to the best of our ability and then we move on. You are not treating a chronic disease, or managing a chronic disease. It’s more of a fix it and fix it again if it continues to break down. That “fix-it” type of environment in Orthopedics suits me very well.
在你的工作中，你觉得什么是具有挑战性的?
我认为控制疼痛通常是具有挑战性的. 疼痛是多因素的. 这并不简单. 这与澳门博彩开户送彩金的生理有关, 社会制度, 个体的精神构成, 周围社区和自然的影响, and how these factors play in to a patient’s complaints and recoveries. Managing pain, is one of the most challenging things that we have to do. 因为, even though we see pretty much see everything that involves the extremities, if pain is involved it doesn’t necessarily have to be pain associated with my specialty. There can be other sources for that pain that the patient is experiencing. 所以控制疼痛, 疼痛的抱怨, is difficult where there can be so many other factors that go into that.
What do you find rewarding about your work as a Orthopedist and Orthopedic Surgeon?
澳门博彩开户送彩金可以尽澳门博彩开户送彩金所能去修复坏掉的东西, 尽可能接近它们的正常状态, 这样病人才能活下去. 在一般情况下, that is one of the more satisfying things, when you put something back together. We also have the ability to replace things, and replacements typically do incredibly well overall. 这种修复能力, 替换那些能让人们重获新生的东西, or allow them to return to what they want to do bring a lot of satisfaction to me as an orthopedist.
Dr. Foley, thank you so much for your commitment to our community. 快乐医生周!
