In general medicine, the traditional approach to diagnosis is to ask the question: what disease does my patient have? The answer to this question informs the treatment provided. However, in orthopaedics, this approach doesn’t necessarily work as every patient has their own needs and expectations from treatment. Mr Flood takes the time to understand these needs and works with his patients to tailor their treatment.
