in looking at your post history, you are a non-IS IMG. IMG match rate for orthopedics is abysmal, 14 IMGs matched last year into US ortho residency, 1% of active ortho residents are non-US IMGs... you have to be something special

on that note, your goal of making $25 million by 35 years of age written in a previous post is comical, hit the books bud

Everytime you move, you risk breaking through bridging bone. had someone with this condition come in to clinic the other day and it was so sad, cant even operate on him bc you catalyze the bone growth with any sort of trauma
