My name is Ryan Harrison. I am an orthopaedic trauma surgeon at The Ohio State University.
I have been thinking a lot about writing recently. It is something I have always enjoyed doing, but don’t do enough of. Twitter has been a great experience so far, but I don’t think it goes far enough to allow for a complete sharing of ideas. I hope that this blog will do just that. I plan to use it as an expansion of Twitter involvement and to spark conversation and learning.
I plan to use this blog to write a series of cases or thoughts. For my first series, I want to write about my history and the choices I made during my education and training to get to today. I see a lot of talk about economics and wealth influencing the path to medicine and beyond. I did not grow up in a wealthy family, quite the opposite. I hope this story will encourage others who may be in a situation similar to my own to pursue their dreams and know that resources are out there.
Stay tuned!
