In episode 292 of Season 7 I'm joined by professor David Hunter of Sydney Australia. He's an international authority on osteoarthritis and a strong proponent of more active and patient-involved approaches to care. He shares a bit on his professional journey including a personal story which influenced his professional direction, some impressive numbers related to the prevalence of osteoarthritis and the more common treatment and more. This week on MCF!
