I always find it interesting that orthopaedic surgeons play up to the stereotype of the dumb jock. Everyone knows that you guys are very smart, disciplined students. Why not embrace your intellectual prowess, as well as your physical strength? Is it so repugnant to the ortho community to be thought of as smart jocks, than dumb jocks?
